what good is a trip rig if the trip is a schedule 80TAFB 4 day but it gets delayed day 4 for 5 hours. THAT'S what matters. we work, we should get paid. no one stays in SGU without getting paid, why do we keep doing so?
Thank you. This is something I hardly ever hear brought up during pay negotiation time but it's probably the thing that personally bothers me the most with our pay package. I fly a lot of 11+ hour duty days. We only get premium pay when a day is SCHEDULED over 12 hours. I can't count the number of times I've had flow, maintenance delays, etc that have pushed a day over 12 hours but received no premium pay. Changing the wording from scheduled to actual would have benefited me far more this month than the extra 50 cents per hour did.
Things like that, reserve proffering, limits on ready reserve and TDY could be a huge pay raise or a big benefit to the pilot group and some of them barely cost SGU anything. Lets work on these things instead of begging for 50 cent per hour raises.
