Q400 Horizon is not honoring the new TA 4.2 hour a day guarantee is not being honored by the company
Preface-- I'm a newb and learning the game.
Alright I've read the past 20 pages and I come to an astounding amount of confusion, and I can't seem to understand this.
1) How do you just not get paid for 26 hours? This has to be a misunderstanding on my part because I can't imagine this being let go
2) Clear up this 4.2 mess for me please. Let's say someone is turning four flights a day and logs 3.8... this is saying that the company is supposed to pay 4.2 regardless, correct?
3) initial pay at training. 16hrs a week at $40. I'm just an ERAU guy but my public math tells me $640/week. Even with per diem that's worse than I ever thought.
4) I'd like to verify my acronyms and clarify a few. AS- Alaska Iron, QX-Horizon Iron, AAG- Alaska Air Group, CBA-Collectiv Bargaining Agreement, LOA letter of agreement...and PBS???
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: thread below on hiring gouge info answered a few acronyms for me being IATO codes. And how bitter griever is... I respect it.
