His normal CA pay was $60 an hour and he was still paid his monthly guarantee seeing that all his FO flying was above and beyond his reserve pay, so here's how his month broke down:
Jr Manned: 82 hrs X ($60 X 150%) = $7,380
Plus:
Guarantee: 75 hrs X $60 = $4,500
$7,380 + $4,500 + $425 (per diem) = $12,305
NICE MONTH!
P.S. He couldn’t sitting reserve because he hadn’t finish IOE.
Are you sure about the math here? Don't know the SKW contract but it would seem that 82 hours x 1.5 would be what your friend would get paid without the re-addition of the guarantee (75)you figured in...that would be getting paid twice in addition to JR pay. Nice but sounds too good to be true.
