My rep told me that information WAS tracked and given at a MEC meeting and former NWA pilots more money (less pilots than DAL had... 5000 vs 7000). One month it was 4.5 times what the DAL side made (GS Flying)

I agree with you that the more time guys fly, slows down upgrades and the company will need LESS pilots on the property.

Maybe time and one half should start at 75. Its my understanding is that GS flying can only happen up to a few days before a trip left. At NWA I was always JR. in my seat. I was still able to get high time when I wanted it.

The other thing to consider..... If the company increases the ALV to 82 hours during the summer, EVERY pilot would benefit to the 1.5 times over 80.

I truly do not know what system is more beneficial , financially, to this pilot group.

For the record, I am in favor of working 75 hours MAX, but with much HIGHER pay rates!
