One qualifier of the Block In definition in our CBA(Section 2: Definitions) states pay will continue until the pilots are allowed to leave the airplane. Logic would follow that the pilots are not allowed to leave the airplane until the securing checklist is complete when that checklist is required.
So we should be calling scheduling with adjusted IN times for pay purposes. I’d estimate this affects a third of our flights. How often does this happen on the Boeing side? Do you ever get any pushback?
