Cargo was exempted from FAR 117, so might be hard to match their rules. But I'm onboard with your idea.
It stopped way before that. I would guess when cellphones became more prevalent and it was easier to get ahold of pilots that wanted to work for premium pay.
I remember right after merger, that scumbag Lee Moak gave the company contract relief for higher ALV’s in short-staffed category thus limiting premium pay. Piece of **** that guy was.
