DTZ and a revamp of our grid and VDA approaches would dramatically change that.
So what you really want is the GRID improvements. A guy who credits 95-110 isn't looking to get paid below guarantee. So you want a green grid, so you can drop when a "life event" happens. When that event happens, you'll have 95+ hours on the books, and can drop to 70 unpaid, then drop further via the tradeboard and/or sick. With DT50, you could have even more options. Climbto450 will never have a zero hour paycheck... That's not you. That's not 1 in 1,000 JB pilots...

You have articulated the need for the reserve grid improvements, which we all want.
