This is just something that will protect pickup guys from low block pickups... Otherwise divide 75 by 3.75 and let the light turn on.

JetJock16 are you inciting a p***ing contest? Don't forget to vote yes JetJock16.
75 divided by 3.75 is for reserves. But if you have a trip that begins with one leg late at night that blocks 1:30 you’ll be paid 3:45 for the first day instead of 1:30. This is great because we all want commutable trips.

Just an example but what would this pairing pay under your current contract............17:30? With your new contract it pays 4:45 more! Basically it forces the company to work you and if they don't you get paid. Also if they over work you get paid even more! Some pairing will be less and some pairing will be more, I'm sure you can come up with example of each. This should be huge for you ATR guys with your shorter legs.

Regardless, at the end of the year it will all add up and you'll be amazed how much more you were paid. I know everyone at SKW usually is. 150-200 hours more in pay means more to me than $2-$3 more an hour. I'd like to have both, but you can't always have your cake and eat it to. Like I said, you can't expect to jump 30% all at once at the regional level.

Also, doesn't ATR stand for Ain't Temperature Regulated? LOL

BTW, I've already voted yes! We're family and we need to support each other. GO ASA!


ps. Numbers aren't exact block/credit times. This was just to prove a point.
