It so cool to see new guys re-invent the wheel! I wish I were as smart as the rest of you.
When FedEx had it, it was called "seat pay". As an bargaining tool, it works great. You can't get higher pay from your legacy carrier; so, you go for seat pay. Then you can't higher pay from your air parcel company; so, you go back to equipment pay.

You know what, maybe you should all sit down and figure out, how to out think management; instead, of re-inventing the wheel.
