At first glance, I was for adding some kind of 1.5x trigger to our current system as you suggest. However, the more I thought about, the more I felt like this would only encourage people to pick up more time and try to fly even more per month then they already do further reducing staffing needs in each category. More stagnation...

If we want to spend negotiating capitol on something, let's spend it on book rates and make every hour worth more, not just "high time."

My goal is to make more for the same amount of days away from home, not to make more by working even more.
