OK, solve this:
Let’s say pilots are on furlough and I start a trip at whatever the cap is minus one minute. Now during this trip any of the following happen:
I divert for a fuel (UPA 2 hours pay)
I do an engine run (UPA pilots get paid)
I’m reassigned an return to base a day late (UPA M5D)
...or any of the other things that trigger an increase to pay credit.
Since I started the trip at cap minus one minute, your advocacy is that I shouldn’t be paid for any of those things? Mind you that each of those items were negotiated, i.e. we gave something to the company in exchange. Now you’d like me to work for free? That sounds an awful lot like concessions.
