Actually what's worse is pretty much every contract...and the way the entire airline industry pays. At pretty much every job I've worked...you get paid for every hour...including OT. At the Rail road you get a 4500 mo base plus 500 to 1100 per day for each trip you make. It's pathetic one would be ok with working a 10 or 12 hour day....but only getting paid for 4 5 or 6 block.........per diem is a joke too.....we will give you 1.25 or 1.75 etc....so Ya feel better......after realizing your working for free and getting ripped off. I guess it doesn't register for some after seeing 20 or 25 hours of credit for a 4 day trip......lol I just don't get it....in fact I don't even wanna touch the medical or retirement benefits at most airlines....
