Thx Carl. Off the top of my head, the only thing I can think of is...it will cause guys/gals to pick up trips they might not have to exceed that 80 hour threshold thereby removing some trips that may have gone out at 2X pay.

I think the current overtime/green slip system favors pilots who bid reserve (This is because of 117.). I think a 1.5X over 80 would favor the regular line bidder and, IMO, it will probably cut down on the number of green slips awarded. Not saying either is better just that this is the way I see it based on my experience this year under 117.
