'Establish Premium Open Time FCFS Flica window for pickup at 150% to be used at company discretion'
What does that specifically mean.
I have friends in other airlines, and they accumulate a lot of credit hours in excess of the maximum hours they would legally be able to fly. It doesn't seem to impair their QOL that much either.
What are the practical opportunities for earning extra credit hours per month. As there is still no agreement, I'm just working on the idea that what's in place, will either be enhanced for the better, or brought in line with 'industry standard'.
I'm asking this not in the context of the current unhappiness among the pilot group, and only to get an idea of what earnings would be possible, without compromising QOL too much.
Thanks
To the 150%FCFS window question, it’s simply a bucket that will be available that has trips in it that will pay 150%. Only trips they really need covered will be placed in there during situations like irops.
So since we’re basically in an irop 24/7 your going to be able to pick up plenty of extra work if you choose to ***** youreself out on a regular basis.
Practically speaking I think it’s going to take time to see how this plays out and how the players play the new game. There’s always going to be min sked guys and fly till you die guys. Honestly it’s too early to tell.
