Edit: Misread your post however keeping below posted as a possible compromise with the company about the two hour after midnight pay provisions.
I understand the company's concern. They are worried about people slow rolling it if the arrival is scheduled before midnight but slow taxi, pull over to get new numbers, fly mach .74, etc to try to get an after midnight arrival. I think a good compromise is to have scheduled after midnight, unscheduled after 12:30am. No mater what we already get the extra duty period if arriving late enough to push debrief to 2am so only the 2 hour pay provision would be adjusted.
