If I were going to play the Old Course, or any of the biggies in Scotland, I might do that... otherwise, since moving to Florida 12 years ago, I hardly play anymore and my game has gone considerably downhill, so taking my bats for a public goat track somewhere in Brazil just isn't worth the hassle. But that's just me. Caipirinha anyone?

I prefer a hard cap of 80 credit hours and the return of the bow wave!
6:00 min. per CALENDAR DAY.... No "average" anything. PER DAY for ALL events (training, home study, vacation, Reserve, DH only, Short call, non-domicile calendar day layover, etc.)!
Making premium pay easy is just a way to get guys to wh0re themselves out and reduce staffing.

6:00 Daily Minimum Pay is long overdue.
Any company assigned activity = Minimum Pay for that day.
Cheers

As far as I'm concerned that is a pretty acceptable fix too. It isn't that I am wishy washy. I definitely dont want a system in which I am constantly wondering if I should work more days for more money. I want to work a reasonable amount for more money. I like to be with my family a lot more than I like to be on the road.
Absolutely agree on the min day value for all items training, vacation, etc.

Last I heard the airport had plenty of cash (know a guy who knows a guy in airport management). Their spending a ton of cash to build the run up pad and redo the taxiways over by the Fedex and Delta hangers (in between 4r and 4l).

Perhaps dropping the threshold for premium to 70-75 hours with a cap, or some hybrid of hour based and GS premium pay.
IMO, the triggers for premium pay should be improved, but should not adversely effect manning. We have some sharp guys in our scheduling committee and a couple of scheduling gurus in the negotiating committee, I'm sure they can find some formula to increase premium pay without reducing the number of pilots needed to fly our schedule.

Just like most the roads around the airport (Eureka Rd is a mine field). Wait til winter when the plows rip up all the asphalt patchwork! T

I've seen all that construction on the other side of 22L, wondered what it was. High traffic area over there I guess.
Just like redoing 27R - very important runway...

I'm not opposed to the idea completely, but I am concerned about encouraging pilots to fly more hours to obtain premium pay. The more hours each of us flies, the fewer pilots we need in each category. Not good in my opinion. OTOH, GS allow premium pay without having to necessarily fly that many hours in a month. Even reserves can get them.
