Public Math Warning.
We currently get 5:15 per duty period. You work 15 duty periods per month and end up with...let's see, carry the one...78:45 for the month.
A work rule change that increase that to 6:00 per duty period would net you 90 hours of pay for the month, for an increase of 14% or so.
The point being, it's not the pay rate that is all important. It's the amount we...me...your average pilot, will take home.
BTW, I'm in favor of BOTH a payrate increase AND work rule improvements.
