The time in a half over 80 hours produces far less overall cash for the pilot group then the double pay for greenslips so the MEC opted to go that route.
Yes, what I'm saying is put our old POLICY in vs the POS we have in the contract now.
I'll have to wave the BS flag on the greenslip vs time and a half thing till someone shows me some numbers. It looks to me like the only guys who can take advantage of greenslips are guys who live in base. I would think the company would want more guys able to take those type of trips as needed? Anyway, I have a personal policy that I don't commute to high time, it's tempting fate. But I will bid long trips that take me over 80 hours for the preminum.
Interesting discussion, I'd like to see numbers.

PS. We had something like greenslip trips TOO. Some hard to fill trips were called "premimum" and payed 2x like greenslip.
