For sure. That price...
- 12 days/month on call for reserve. Every month, not this 30/31 day month or extra x-day BS.
- No limit on number of off-day blocks.
- Min of 2 days on call per block.
- GS on off day pay 2x on top of guarantee.
- Reserve coverage limits that mirror line holders.
- Get rid of the golden day concept...every day off is golden day.
- Extensions into off days are payed at 2x pay on top of guarantee (no matter the reason). My days off are my time, not theirs.
- No flying of trips that would put you over Reserve guarantee.
- 1 hour of pay on top of guarantee for any short call.
- A reserve availability list that is actually accurate.

I think I can speak for the entire pilot group when I say, I hope this happens. I'm quite certain there are tons of pilots out there who would be elated to see people gobbling up all the holiday flying. I'm also certain that these same people wouldn't be opining about not getting holiday flying. It's truly a win-win.

Money per day I put on a uniform is what really talks. While that includes pay rates, it also heavily relies on other work rules. Pay rates are flashy because they're easy to quantify.
