As for pay: min guarantee happens if/when you don’t fly the whole trip (on 73’s). If you fly or are available your whole duty time (17days), you get the higher of min, CRT or block/credit. On the 73 this averages around 68-78hrs of pay every month. Yeah, it’s not great and I’m ready for more but is way better than a regional.
CaptDave, How long have you been at Southern for? On the 767 at Atlas, they talk all about how you'll get CRT and can expect 70-80 hours of pay. However, the reality for the past year or so for us has been that, unless you're quite senior, almost all of the lines now are worth about 55 - 60 hours. Very, very difficult to make more than minimum guarantee anymore.
