when does pay start at 9E ? door closed or wheel movement ?
do you need to carefully audit your paycheck every pay period ?
do you need to submit pay claims for overtime, holiday, etc etc ?
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 ?
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?)?
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...
I had to ask a volunteer about how long pay is good for. Apparently forever, but it goes both ways, and that is a Minnesota law and as long as the company is based in MSP it'll stay that way.
Looking at the union email: the company will pay all of our door issues through their own audit. All of them, since May.
I pick up a couple days each month. One of the volunteering pilots told me rainmaker is always wrong, i attack it like it's wrong, and i find a little extra money every month. Crew scheduling codes the trips wrong and it's not always FLICAs fault. I ask for help and I got a lot of it. Im not as good as the grievance guys but theres lots of help if you watch ask.
