If you have reached the 10 hour of duty point and they choose to sit on airport appreciation, you get paid $50/hour.
1/3 of the above pay is put into you 401k as a company contribution. (It doesn’t count against your max yearly contribution) The other 2/3 go into your paycheck. Some fleets do better than others. I’m in the 350 and over the first two paychecks I have averaged and extra $1500.
Is it good or bad, I can’t tell you yet. Check back in a year.
BUT, as usual, there are exclusions and "you only get the $ if..." involved.
Also, if you are flight planned at 1:20 and it takes 2 hours to do the flight, you get paid 1:20, not 2:00. I'm seeing more and more flights out of airports like SFO, LAX etc getting filed without SIDs and STARs now....magic?
It's only been a month and I'm already tired of hearing things like "why don't we write that up later?" and "if it weren't for the $118 an hour, I probably wouldn't go".
I would have been happier if the union just kept the same money we already make and made real scheduling limits.
