Ferd, I don't have numbers for this but don't you think mgmnt would just block everything at min ALV...so like around 70 hrs per month. This would make it difficult to get to that coveted 80hr mark to make the $$. All I see this doing is keeping more pilots on property.....which is a good thing.
If they did do 80hr for time and a half the junior line holders would get screwed. As it stands green slips, although easier for non commuters, are given out in seniority order to those with the lowest number of awarded green slips for the month. So if a senior bubba already received a GS for the month and I am on the list for one that day (and I'm legal for it) I get it ahead of the senior pilot.
Having never been under the fnwa method I don't know if junior folk got any love from the 80 for time and half, but I know I get it frequently here now, even on reserve!
