Let's see...

60 hr. min line value / 17 workdays = 3.53 hours of credit per day to hit min line value

or presently (I believe set to expire in a few months and revert back to 82 hours for lineholders):

76 / 20 = 3.8 hours of credit per day

So the company is asking for yet another concession that will allow them to build more trips with even less productivity?

No thanks. How about those in management do their job and grow (or at least stabilize) the company by pursuing/creating opportunities beyond the Delta network?

I forgot...that would require more talent than the budget can hire.

Now, if the company wanted to offer a part time option with a min line value of say 35-40 hours or so, that might work. Those senior who want more time off and have more important things to do than work for Comair could take advantage of that, pilots who can't hold a full time schedule would be spared a furlough by filling the part time positions not taken by more senior pilots, and the entire pilot group wouldn't be looking at a third pay cut.

That seems the most equitable by far, though the administrative costs would probably make this a non-starter.
