It's not that simple. My understanding is that the hourly rates are adjusted upwards so that the total compensation (in my simple terms of hours flown X adjusted hourly rate) equals fair compensation. I do not know the exact numbers. I think over time this has been overlooked. I do agree with more and more delays, this compensation model may not be appropriate, but good luck to anyone suggesting a lower hourly wage in return for getting paid for more hours.
