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.

I agree with your assessment, Denny.
1.5 over 80 would incentivize guys picking up more time (less people required) vs going to the GS trigger and GSing for 200%. The latter is far more credit for less flying (more money more time off).
