I'm on reserve, and a trip I got has a 35 hour layover. Per contract that means I should get an extra 4:30 credit. However when I look at the trip, it has 17ish hours flight time and only 18 hours of credit. Where is the extra credit for the 35 hour layover?
To solve the first issue, send an email to crewpay, crew scheduling, and cc'd to the ALPA base rep for pay/scheduling issues. For the second one, I haven't cracked that code yet since its the second time they did it to me and the block and credit times just don't add up.
Actually this gets a lot of people confused. It is not trip averaging. In the contract section 4 - Minimum Guarantees, item C.1.b is what you are looking at. You are paid the minimum of 4.5 hrs
per duty period and 4.5 hrs for an overnight more than 22 hrs. In your case I'm sure your 4 day trip only has 3 duty periods, and the long overnight. That is what equals 18 hrs. It's not 4.5 hrs
per calendar day and the overnight. It's either the block time, credit time,
or the duty periods for min pay, but they don't mix. That is why we need a true min calendar day in the next contract.
