Perfect! We had best all come together and demand another pay system than this antiquated block hour system. Lets go to a straight salary with OT or increase min day or min guarantee. I'm not doing this job for 16-18 days a month for 75 hours. Now THAT will bring on a pilot shortage!
It can be done if hey choose too. I'm on a 20hr 3 day that would be legal under the new rules other than a 2.5 hr sit before my last leg that makes it 1 hr over the new legal limits. If we just turned in 30 min like normal it would fit the new rules.
