Industry standard now. Too bad NetJets isn't part of the industry, right?
Duty rigs force the airlines to pay pilots for their time (not just flight time). It's up to management to decide what to do with that pilot time. Our utilization/efficiency is not under our control. We should not be deprived of flight pay when management decides to keep us in a hotel for 7 days.
It is nice that the airlines are in this contract and work rule rat race that one airline can piggy back off another. At the end of the day though, NJA pilots can get whatever they are willing to fight for, but this IBI has proven that they will just accept what NJASAP gives them. The last two CBA votes that NJASAP has sent to the pilot group have been positively received by a large majority both times. How long did it take for 3 out of 4 people to vote yes, to it being called POSTA lol...
