The part about picking up stuff that shocks me is when the training department is sending out critical pay emails for STL and are stating that only the SIM portion is critical pay and the DH is straight pay.
Really? Have some respect people. Stop falling for this crap. Tell them you'll do it if it's all paid at critical pay. The union should also step in on this. It's pretty clear. They simply can't just decide to pay a portion of a critical assignment as regular pay.
