Granted who knows how that will change crew tracking behavior in when they decide to cut you lose for the day or push you into a day off as that is deemed cheaper.
This is the kind of discussion that meeds to be had vs just pointing to Delta and going, " We want that"
We ended up with ACD that way. Granted it had its benefits, but it absolutely sucks to have a great 13-14 hour 2 day which delays or pushes you into a third day and all you gain is an extra hour of pay for that lost day off......
That's what I want to see. Expand the after midnight pay to include any delay that results in returning to base more than 2 hours after originally scheduled. Beyond 5 hours then it's an extra day. I don't mind helping out and they can't control weather but it doesn't mean I should do it for free. My inconvenience is worth compensation.
