She said she doesn't get paid Duty Rig per what their policy says. (I don't think they actually call it that, can't remember).

She was also saying that they like to change the rules all the time. She said she has called in sick because crew scheduling will change her reserve period in the middle of the day. They release her from duty during the day and tell her to get rest so she can fly a late flight out. Sounds pretty bad.

Not sure if that is abnormal or the standard practice there but that doesn't sound fun either way.

Oh, plus she said that when they have policy changes the language is written so vaguely that it leads to company abuse of policy.
