Carl, I think everything above 80 hours should pay 2X, not 1.5. I think 2X is a general disincentive to Delta, and they'll increase manning to prevent doing it on a regular basis. But 1.5X is just enough that Delta will just let us all fly til we die, rather than increase staffing. That's why I'm opposed to it. It's not enough penalty to Delta.
