If a guy making the personal decision to work extra "kills" you, then you need all the time off possible. Take a trip, have a drink, get a massage... but lighten up. There is a lot out there to get fired up about, someone else's work ethic isn't one of them.
I also don't view the solution as an either or. I think we can get some 150-200% open time options but I really don't think we'll get it on all open time given how willing everyone is to pick it up at straight pay the vast majority of the time.
I guess I should clarify that the bit I don't get is the "I won't vote yes on anything without 150%". I would find that hard to believe if our rates were brought up to the industry average.
