OK, I disagree with that then. Scenario: I am an in base guy, and I want to pick up a trip in open time but I have a trip that conflicts. I am trying like hell to drop it but capped reserve days prevent it. That trip gets picked up by another base's pilot, and miraculously I then find someone that wants my trip. Dammit... that trip I DID want is now gone. That sucks. MEX here I come.

Yes you did, but I think the company shouldn't be able to use out of base reserves to cover another bases open time simply by changing a rotation number and deadheading a guy. However, they can. So, your solution only makes a manpower/QOL negative repair to a system which IMO shouldn't be in place anyway.

Carl, I think everything above 80 hours should pay 2X, not 1.5. I think 2X is a general disincentive to Delta, and they'll increase manning to prevent doing it on a regular basis. But 1.5X is just enough that Delta will just let us all fly til we die, rather than increase staffing. That's why I'm opposed to it. It's not enough penalty to Delta.

If punitive action is what you seek, I am hard pressed to find a way to justify paying 2X above 80 hours as being an effective method of doing so.... Care to explain how you believe it would?

I'm simply asking us to consider rolling back the limits on straight pay flying. Is that so bad?
