I'm not sure I follow. This would apply to both "riff-raffs" and everyone else, so what difference does it make to CO if someone concentrates their flying in a short period, vs. spreading it out over the year? Unless the goal is to reward steady cash flow vs. sporadic cash flow, the money is still the same and green either way.
Similarly, with the 12 month clock always ticking away, this would hurt some very loyal customers who may take a brief reprieve from flying for a month or two, just before
their qualification year ends.
