How much overtime is available to a new-hire? Can you work as much as you want?
BTW;
I've been to the rahcontractnow.com
I've read the threads about a potential strike (no, I wouldn't scab)
I've read all of the other posts about what's bad about working at RAH.
Anyway, just a couple of simple questions about 1st year pay.
As far as how much overtime is available and working as much as you want depends on if you are on RSV the entire time. If you are, dont count on breaking min credit for the month. Its possible, but its all luck of the draw. Also with very few days off, I would imagine scheduling department would rather not have you pick up overtime to prevent you from exceeding any flight time limitations within your assigned reserve stretch. This of course will not stand true if they are incredibly desperate to get a flight out and you are willing to fly it. Hope this gives some sort of insight.
