My question is, I was informed by a check airmen that you guys get rig pay. Which would mean if you fly a 17 day trip you get 80hrs of pay even if you only fly 70hrs?
Those numbers are straight off my pay stubs, no rounding or embellishment. Yes, VX is volunteering for Off (X) day flying. Our "rig" is 4.85 hours pay per 24 hours (24 divided by 4.95), so you cannot simply multiply by work days. As a very simple example, assume a trip which reports on day one at 1500 and finishes day 2 at 1500. This would be two work days, but would be paid just one (24/4.95=4.85).
