I'd rather take the better straight pay and keep a 2x trigger (and I commute)
We need to look in the other direction. Like:
These will help RES fill up faster and either result in more advance notice GS or cause more hiring and advancement.
Well, from my understanding, a lot of those listed were in our proposal for the last contract. How many made it?
In addition, just because you are against "1.5 over 80", what gives you the right to limit the amount someone can make
IF HE OR SHE WISHES TO FLY AND EARN MORE? Every person has a reason, be it kids approaching/ in college, new car, medical bills, taking care of family members, mx on the house, savings, etc.
Many here spout off about the "time value of money", stagnation, etc. Guess what, this is one way for those who are "stagnated" or junior to make up some of that "time value of money" which is lost due to the lack of upgrades. Oh, and for green slips, usually it's the same senior individuals who get them.
I will campaign
FOR1.5 over 80 as hard as I can, because NO ONE has the right to tell me how much I can fly and earn (unless of course, it's defined by FAR's)
Sorry for the rant. Off soap box......
