My leg so getting ready to brief I get notified from ops that I'm to go operate another flight. Thus is 35 min to push. I make some calls told I need to fly it. No rest issues so off I go.
I'm at layover now it's a 3 day trip. We flew 8.2 block today. 11 hour layover to a 3 leg 7.6 block hour tomorrow.
Why do we bid???
Hats off to you HBTH I agree with your statement.
That's great. You're going to get paid double pay for what you fly plus single pay for your original rotation. Just accept the pay and laugh. It is what it is.
