I think global open time and the premium would bet better for the overall group vs the VDA.
I think the premium open time will be more transparent and accessible to more of the group, but will pay less (150 vs 190) and will not have the paper DH credit associated with it. So he's correct, probably much less expensive to the company, which means less money going to the pilots. On the other hand, the extra money that does go to the pilots will probably be less concentrated in a small percentage of helpers.
