We certainly get more time at home but that doesn't pay the bills. Just trying to put things in perspective.
Hey you need DALPA to put a cap in place to protect yourself from yourself. If you were allowed to fly 80+ hours per month then you would ruin your own career. Come on don't be selfish, drop more trips so we can hire more people. Who cares if you can't pay your bills. If you need more money, just put in a GS because that system is awesome and will make you WAAAYYY more money than getting paid 1.5X pay for time flown above 80.
