August 3rd class any body knows what bases and airplane got assign? thanks
70hrs & 10 days-off in onesies & twosies at best! Not likely to break guarantee. Open time pick-up is at normal pay, but credited above 70. You get 130% pay over 81hrs. Who wants to pick-up straight-pay open time when your days off are stretched so thin?? Plus, you're 6-on, 1-off several times, preventing you from even considering picking anything up!!
Company loves to hold-back open time while building lines, giving the reserves pure reserve lines that give only 10 days off & little chance of getting payed above guarantee. Instead, mixed-lines should be built to at least 11 days-off and any flying you get called-in for pays above 70 for that portion flown above the daily 3.5 guarantee; it's their way of cheaping-out...don't ask me how I know!!!
