Dera, what you are not reading correctly is that he said duty time, not flight time. I know for a fact that they pay duty time, not flight time. Plus, the operative word is scheduled daily flight time. Meaning a day’s flight time can go over 8 hours, as long as the compensatory minimum rest is complied with. It is all in the opspecs of the operator.
With duty time pay, the actual CA wage was about 8-10% higher than the wage I earned at BTQ.
