I suspect the peeps that keep clamoring for 1.5 over 80 have no clue how to work the gs system. I'm about 60% in category and I averaged about 149hrs pay on 42hrs of block per month for 2014. I did almost as well when I was 80% in category. (and a certain someone on this forum, who is almost the bottom in category, also does very well.)

There is no way I want to fly 80hrs and then pick up overtime at a measly 1.5.

I say really learn the system we have and maximize for effect!

Oh, so it's YOUR fault! (btw...well DONE sir!)

Someone will be along shortly to disparage you or your next of kin!

Thx P3.

Also hearing strong rumors that co. wants to get rid of dropping to zero time... that will be an automatic no vote from me... been doing that for 10yrs... it's the corner stone of my system and has greatly increased my pay, time off, and qol.

(Otherwise I would have been stuck flying all weekends/holidays/red-eyes for 10-15yrs!)

No thanks.

I completely agree. No min month!

Make sure your reps know how you feel about this and consider sending the NC an email as well.

One would think it would be to the companies advantage to post several blank regular lines. This would decrease the number of sick calls and would also have several pilots picking up open time basically on ready reserve.....

I'm with you on that as well. A minimum month will cost as many jobs as removing the cap. There are a lot of us who drop to below 50 on a regular basis.

Couldn't AGREE more LTD!
Automatic no vote from me as well; you can't take it with you.
The option to drop to zero make this good job - a great job.

Reduce one's entire month to zero hours through drops, swap board, etc.

Wow! So if you felt like it, you could essentially take the month off (without pay)?
