Keep in mind, 5:20 per day solves this problem.
Lineholder could only get a max of 16 days on the job... (5:20 x 16 = 85:20 hrs) and a reserve should also get 5:20 per day, so all of a sudden you see lines with 14 days off (as a min).
Not negoiating in public but I put this down on the survey years ago. Aircraft are getting faster. a 3 day LHR now pays 15:00. But if could (should) pay 16:00. Where now you could potential get 6 LHR trips in a month (18 days on, 12/13 days off) at 90hrs, you could/should be looking at 5 as a max and 80hrs of pay, on 15 days and off 15/16.
