i couldnt agree more. this is a 100% garbage precedent that is being set forth and upheld in this industry. this is a duty requiring you to be there for work and a work function..nothing less and simple as that. Same with premium pay. 125% above 87hrs? thats complete nonsense. OT should be paid like every other industry.....time and a half for any day you arent scheduled to work. Period. why are airlines always somehow exempt from paying fairly?
