Then you compare that with total flight time for the month? Say 75 hours? Trip rig wins and you get paid/credited 82.45 hours? Also, is the rig clock running while you are deadheading on day 0 or day 18? Or is it just the flat 25% deadhead pay tacked on to the rig time?
Thanks.
To be accurate, the pay "rig" at Atlas is an hourly rig. You will get one hour of pay for every 4.95 hours of "Time a'Away From Base" (TAFB). So for a 24 hour day you'd get 4.85 hours (24 divided by 4.95 = 4.85).
NOTES:
1. You are paid the greater of pay credits (Block + DH = trng, etc), CRT, or Min Guarantee. Note that these calculations are made on a MONTHLY (not daily) basis! This is one of the weakest provisions of our "soft pay" issues at Atlas. If you fly a 16 hour trip one day, you're effectively paid for 4.85 hours for that trip.
2. Of course the first year is $1,600 / month in training and 50 hour guarantee after that.
3. Sick pays NOTHING until you are down to min guarantee (50 or 62) then it "pays" 3.65 hours per day.
4. Reserve "R - 1" (Home) pays NOTHING .
5. Reserve "R - 2" (Hotel) pays 1 hour for every 2 hours on duty
6. Training pays 3.65 hours per day.
6. Deadheads pay 1:2.85 - i.e., 2.85 hours of deadhead time equals one (1) hour of pay.
7. 737 FO's are paid at
year one rates for the first three years (737 pilots are paid 75.91 of the "base 747" pay)
These are just a few of the highlights of our current contract...
