In addition, put a cap on total monthly credit hours of say 90 (a number that was removed from my rectum) with all time above that to be paid at a rate of … zero. No pay bank for the credit *****s. All assignments above 80 monthly credit can be refused by the pilot.
He11 no to pay cuts. Cut hours worked, not pay.
The above allows management to furlough fewer pilots and reduces training costs for them.
Feel free to criticize; I'm just tossing out the idea.
I understand that your intent is to adjust credit floors/caps to preserve active pilot jobs and reduce furloughs although I’d only be willing to explore that after all the RJs are parked.
Also, not getting paid for hours worked or owed is a non starter. It doesn’t take much imagination to understand how that could be abused by the company. I’m not willing to throw out rigs, are you?
I hope what we can agree on is that we let the NC do their job and IF contactual changes are required we’ll get a chance to vote.
