Can't wait for ALPA to follow suit and also start litigation under the same grounds. This industry needs to change.
This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.
Having worked outside of the USA the way we are paid has always bugged me, I work hardest when I am not getting paid, and make a lot of easy money in cruise (don't even get me started on SWA, where you get paid 55 minutes for the first 243SM, and 5 minutes for every 40 miles thereafter or something like that).
If I fly:
- one 8 hour leg I work 9:15 hours and get paid 8:00, easy day.
- 8 one hour legs with 30 min turns I work 12:45 and get paid 8:00, hard work.
- two 1 hour legs with an 8 hour sit I work 11:15 and get paid for 2, horrible.
Some of this is resolve with rigs, but i would still be much happier with something like:
Every hour of movement = one hour pay (on a per minute base)
Every leg = half hour of pay
Every hour of FDP - 1/2hour/leg while not moving = quarter hour of pay
Add trip/duty rigs.
