Since the issue of our time and a half coupled with our quality of life has become such a topic of banter, it seems to me that a new pay model should be proposed.
You start out as a 5 year captain making 50.00/hr. with a 90 hour guarantee and as you fly less, your hourly rate goes up. Once you hit that magic number of 50 hours (flown) the rate hits 129.00/hr until you get to 25 hour flown at which point it goes to time and a half. Anything less than 10 hours flown per month would be at triple pay.
Does that make everyone happy?
