it’s not the premium part they’re looking to change, It’s the part about paying a pilot who didn’t actually fly the trip.

there is plenty of premium here to go around. We also have a leveling mechanism on most forms, so it is not all concentrated at the most senior level.

I’m in the 70% range in category and can still get some premium if I want it. if you are only flying straight time here at less than 10% in category, especially on a NB, that is because that’s what you choose to do.
