The productivity pay threshold was raised roughly 17%. For instance a 31 day month could see someone in overtime pay once over 78 credit hours. Now it is 92 hours. Some guys rarely had overtime, but others managed quite a bit. Just depended on fleet and position as well as bidding strategy. Now I foresee the company scheduling pilots for up to 17% more flying thus keeping the need for new pilots down to a minimum. This will also affect upgrade numbers in the future. Not a good development
