Ex: 2 - 1in7 days: NO pay
10 - Days you flew a total of 60 hrs
4 days - reserve - Credit of 16 hours
Total credit for the month : 76 hours
This does not include any deadhead time to/from work or on the road which is paid at 1/2 block time nor any special pays for hostile areas.
ANY time worked on Scheduled days off is paid at time and half and is automatically above guarantee.
Why did the union allow ANY unpaid days on the road? That is ridiculous. If you are away from home you need to be paid. K4 is not a charity.
Is that another screw up by D.W. ? He fights to limit how long you can be on duty and make money, and then he approves unpaid days!
