Delta awards you trips over XX hours (insert your favorite number here), it pays double...like overtime in the 40 hour work week world.

You elect to flog yourself and pickup to the FAA limits from OT or swap board, then you get straight pay...you did it to yourself.

Folks will still drop trips and pick up others (at straight pay) to get a certain weekend off, kids birthday party etc....those QOL events.

Then when DL can't fill the open trips because of the poor manning, they will send out greenies, and IMO, they should pay 200% with no trigger because we are helping solve their problem. GS rules won't change...senior guys still get one...locals will still be able to pick up the short notice 1 day turns, etc.
