I suspect the peeps that keep clamoring for 1.5 over 80 have no clue how to work the gs system. I'm about 60% in category and I averaged about 149hrs pay on 42hrs of block per month for 2014. I did almost as well when I was 80% in category. (and a certain someone on this forum, who is almost the bottom in category, also does very well.)

There is no way I want to fly 80hrs and then pick up overtime at a measly 1.5.

I say really learn the system we have and maximize for effect!
