There are limits to efficiencies I think. I’m not saying they can’t make it worse. But at least I would be paid for it being so. I agree that it’s maybe shouldn’t be a blanket min day. But min day with some guardrails yes
Well that's the key to the whole thing - what should the guardrails be, and would the company ever agree to them? In general I think you've got to find a way to force some credit back into the trips. Maybe like where we have the TLV as a rolling lookback we need a minimum percentage of credit in each category on a rolling 12 month basis. So some months they could tighten the screws and reduce credit but they'd have to make it up in other months with more credit.
