I realize it may cause them to hire less people, but I'm not a fan of creating inefficiencies just to create jobs. Let those who want to pick up time pick it up. We need the cap gone in 2012 with a clause that it returns if we furlough. I don't want to pay 1.95% of my pay and have my ability to earn what I want to limited. We should be free to fly as much as we want until guys are furloughed, then a cap should be implemented.
I also completely disagree with you. I want to make more for less work. If we can get substantial raises, then you won't need to fly 90 hours/month. Most guys want to work as little as possible. It seems to me since we've taken huge pay cuts, you want to make it up by working more. Why not fix the real problem? Our low hourly rates. Letting pilots fly more will downgrade everyone thus we will be working more for the same overall pay. Did I mention this is a terrible idea and very flawed thinking on your part?
