Precisely.
Anyone sensible would merely seek a base salary raise, and the HDP adjusted so that once again, doing 84 hours amounts to an additional 10%.
Unfortunately, some of the more hung-ho yee-haws amongst the GC seem to view United's pilot contract as some form of model to aspire to. What a hilarious proposition.
The US major carriers have hundreds of pages of work rules in order to facilitate their contract.
Our contract is tiny, and therefore our pay structure must be equally simple.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for rigs which protect us, like minimum duty credits, rostered credit protection, etc. That is entirely a side issue to pay. They don't require a change in pay structure. For us, such rigs will result in better rostering conditions, in terms of disruption and how we're used, but not about the money (but the credit would be there to at least provide some reward if we are being flogged).
For pilots at the American carriers, the rigs mean protecting their pay. If they don't fly, they don't get paid (minimum guarantee aside).
