Hey CpDude and 777300ER,

Since you don't care or you haven't noticed, the other half of the pilots here work 18-22 days a month for 40 or 60 hours of credited pay hours, despite doing up to 4-5 times the amount of sectors you do, not even getting anywhere near full HDP, zero EFP, much less sleep, way less in-flight rest, way less time off, way less time at home, and constant roster and sleep disruption. The current system guaranteeing a 90% minimum salary is just fine, thank you very much.
The move to an hourly pay system would obviously be contingent on adequate trip rigs and minimum daily credit values. The notion that productivity is based on hours flown is one of the key reasons why our rostering lags behind every other first world airline.

It isn't impossible to find a scenario on paper where the company and the pilot group wins. With this management team and pilot group however, I won't hold my breath.
