That's just the tip of the unbelievable iceberg.
other interesting CBA tidbits
Crew call, scheduling calls you 2.5 hours prior to your report time when you're in Miami. You "Must" return this phone call in 15 minutes, but somehow that doesn't count as duty.
Calling sick takes 3 hours out of your sick bank, unless you wait until you receive the crew call. If you wait too long they will take 6 hours from you.
So imagine you have a 6 am report, Scheduling calls you at 330 ,interrupting your rest, and you discover you are unfit to fly. You now have to decide if you are willing to lose 6 hours of pay or if you want to fly unfit.
Trip rig is 1 hour for every 4 hours away from base, 6 hours per day. Except the previous union signed a Letter of Agreement allowing for the creation of "Temp Bases" so now you're not technically away from base the entire trip. So a 16 day "Temp Base" that should pay 96 hours instead pays 60.
Yes the union is in contract negotiations now, however many of the pilots on property have been here less than a year so when it comes time to the vote, the pilots who get to vote will be the same group that rolled over on the temp bases and all the terrible language in the previous contract.
