Isn't this just a typical brushstroke excuse to cut high levels of productivity primarily targeting the training department? I have worked barely two productivity months in the past year and I would imagine most line pilots to be similar. I do know of the vast majority of trainers work a consistent and comfortable 90-100 hours. Not that they don't deserve compensation and incentive pay, but I do have an issue with some of the pre assigned flights to OZ for example. Questionable training value for 27 hours in 3.5 days...10-15k drms per month in extra hours is likely the cause of this draconian decision.
