What would you like to know? How is the operation running? Like a nightmare. The Q is a MX hog. So when it breaks and they don't have another plane for you, you lose pay. For example, lets say you have a 4 Leg day...EWR-PIT, PIT-EWR, EWR-PVD. And for whatever reason the PIT turn cancels...there is about 2.5 of pay lost. AND you will have to sit for about 4 hours without getting paid. Per our contract, there is a 5 hour rule for getting us a hotel room when the sit is that long. For a mx problem or weather, scheduling will not afford you a room. So get comfy!

OR EVEN BETTER...

Lets use that same example same example but use the EWR special....wx! Lets say you are on day 1 of 4 and you are EWR based. You complete your PIT turn, but then you arrive right before the wx goes to junk. and they cancel your last leg of the day. WELL...since you are an EWR FO, and you are in base, they can turn your 4 day into a DAY trip and back it up with a 3 DAY. ANNNND you guessed it, crew scheduling is NOT obligated to get you a room. SO if you are a commuter (likely) enjoy dropping a good amount of cash on a hotel, or find a spot at the crew room! ***I use this example because it has happened to me and my crew. Lucky for me, I live in base, but my capt and FA's did not, and they had to find a room.
