So they don’t want to work on those days but then are upset because there aren’t any opportunities for last minute work on those days? You don’t like this because it doesn’t change bidding behavior therefore not affecting you at all and pays only the people who would work that day anyway at normal pay a premium? Did I get that right?
I dont care if you want a holiday override.
What im saying is want it because you want more $ to work a holiday.
NOT because you are attempting to alter pilot bidding behavior. Because thats not likely to be realized.
Or because working a holiday violates the sanctity of 'family time'.
Like i said...there shud be overrides for numerous work situations we face. And we all face them to some degree because no pilot is able to completely control schedule 100% of the time.
Malarial and terror threat zones are at top of my list...way ahead of holidays.
P.S...so if a pilot gets a gs over a holiday...will your 1.5 also multiple be applied to the awarded trip credit? And why not?
