I had it at a previous airline. Maximum pay per month was 80 hours. If you flew more than that you weren't paid for it, instead the "overage" went into a bank that you could drop future trips against (for pay, paid from the bank). The biggest single advantage was that we didn't have the overtime wh*res that we have here and we were better able to see how little we were being paid. I think if we had that system here, hourly rates would be a MUCH bigger priority for the negotiating committee.

I my mind, we should be able to max out our "high 5 years" without working overtime or sell back vacation.
