I actually agree with JamesBond here. I don't think these "penalties" will affect trip construction. There's a reason they're pay not credit. If it were credit it would count towards reaching the LCW, effectively making pilots fill up with less actual block. This pay no credit just means they're willing to pay a little penalty for now. I'm a yes voter because I like money, but I'm under no delusions that trips are going to magically get better. Maybe I'm wrong and long term the "optimizer" will adjust for the slight added cost of certain "penalties." This summer I highly doubt we'll see much change though.
