OK that might explain it a little. I am still a little short of 500 hours but should top it some time around the KR gathering. So I guess I should just pay it and shut up for the year. It did come down some this year something like 11%. I also asked them what I needed to do to get the best rates. Like training,or safety and the didn't really give any advice that way.
