For someone who holds stand-ups it would be more like 50%. I would bet an average is around 80% coverage. So in essence our 5% BHO is really about a 4% real credit override. Pretty weak when the 900 holds over 50% more people.
Yes, I live in ATL and am able to work the system (SKW inability to properly staff ATL seeing that we're small and it's hard to cover flying quickly when you have NO reserves). By doing so, I average 125-135 hrs of credit per month (10 or more at 150% pay) with an average of around 14-15 days off. Because of my ability to keep my block low and credit high I only block around 80-85 per month with some months up in the low 90's. What that means is that my BHO only covers around 64% of my CR9 credit or a 3% CHO. Total that’s about $70 a month that I don't get paid and I should, around $840+/yr. All my flying is 900 but I spend 40 or so hours per month at 200 rates.
I do not agree with the BHO and I was hoping for a change although we got what I expected and the BHO makes for simple calculations.
