NWA used to have a system of 80 hrs max a month. You couldn't pick up anything that would put you over 80 and no line was constructed that was over 80. If you over flew the 80 or less you were scheduled for you could go to a max of 82.5, anything over that and you had to drop something. Any time/credit you actually flew between 80-82.5 was put into a bank that paid out when your line was below the 80 max.

This was a great system as it kept guys form hoaring themselves out for $$. But that was also when we made a lot more money, had better work rules, and a pension.

Based on current rules it would be nice to see 1.5 above 80 + keep the GS option. But what would really be nice would be paid a rate that allows guys to not have to hoar themselves out.
