Solves a lot of problems. What most pilots don't get in this thread are that airlines would gladly OK this pay structure. And they'd take soft pay away to accomplish this, or just ding your hourly rate by 20% to give you min wage.
PILOTS ARE NOT MIN WAGE EMPLOYEES.
Same thing. Some morons are OK with working for a company with no cancellation pay. Others are OK working for a place that pays 50% of your pay to deadhead.
Wake up fellas. It is not that difficult. For a group of guys who claim to be "smart" many seem to be struggling with a basic concept here.
I don't want anyone's head to explode so maybe in another thread we can cover 401k matching.
Goodnight.
Then an increased duty rig might help. I think this thread was intended to get a discussion going concerning getting paid for duty time. Some responses are against a minimum wage, but the point is made that we need better pay for duty time.
I see your point on minimum wage though. An increase may be better.
