Also what about holiday pay override? Then you have people who want holiday flying to bid it vs avoiding it and praying for greensslips.
Holiday pay! It probably costs something, but huge QOL gain for everyone; either getting more money or getting off the days you want. I think time and a half would be enough to do the trick. My understanding is FAs already get it so it's not like it is something foreign to management.
I also think we should cost out the per diem cost relative to hourly rates and take our raise there sobe it is tax free. How about a housing allowance too? Same concept of costing it from hourly rate
