The only thing I would be willing to "club together" for is a true home basing system.
For example, all NA pilots are for pay purposes based in ORD and all pilots pay ca. US$150/month towards a home basing fee. Then it is the companies' responsibility to book the pilot a ticket that gets him to work from his designated home to the aircraft, wherever it may be, with adequate rest in the hotel prior to and following duty. The pilot gets paid DH pay for the estimated time it takes to get from his base (ORD) to airport of initiating duty, based on OAG. The company could book using ID-50s with an adequate back-up and save $$$ on the number of crews needed by DHing pilots between airports.
