thanks again for previous answers. its not an easy decision to give up earned seniority and start over at another airline. I don't think it will be all sunshine and roses at 9E but the following questions might give some more insight...
when does pay start at 9E ? door closed or wheel movement ?
door closed and brake released
do you need to carefully audit your paycheck every pay period ?
it is up to you. I check and find a mistake every other month or so in Rain maker, but if the mistakes make or break your finances, you need to fix your finances. The company is not trying to make mistakes, or short you pay.
do you need to submit pay claims for overtime, holiday, etc etc ?
see above, I always check to make sure Premium Pay is coded correctly, and that is generally where the mistake is found
if you find an error in pay beyond XX days time are you forever screwed out of that pay ?
never used PBS how is it overall for bottom middle and top 1/3 ? is it like I've heard top 1/3 gets 18 days off a month and 90 credit and bottom 2/3 gets 11 days off and 80 hours credit?
trips commutable? avg day credit ? ya'll have min day or trip/duty rigs ?
we have a 4 hour min day, every day you work is 4 hours of pay minimum
what mechanisms are in place if you want to trade out of a trip or just plain drop a trip? (we have schedule adjustment, seniority based and first come first serve...) how often are you able to actually trade (need green days I assume?)?
trades/drops/adds are first come first served, trades between pilots are allowed assuming it doesn't get some one in FAR117 trouble. Dropping is hard to do, but possible
reading through the last few pages doesn't seem hotels/schedulers are much better
appreciate any feed back, like said its not an easy decision to give up earned seniority...
