I believe the point that I was attempting to make was, in order to make the figures that were presented by globalflair a pilot is working a lot with very few days off; essentially "overtime at straight pay." I never said anything about open time...........did I? Open time is a great deal, especially for those that drop crappy trips in order to pick up sweeter ones, or bumping up their month because they were awarded a low paying line (junior), etc. Draft is not "straight" pay, volunteer is not straight pay, getting bumped for training and then picking up a trip in it's place is not really straight pay............is it? Isn't that essentially 200%? But picking up an open time trip (or to bid) to only have 6 days off in the month is working overtime at straight pay. That's all I was saying.
