at FedEx the large paychecks come on the 15th. The overages from draft/AVA/extensions and disruptions (also GPE’s) are all paid on the following month’s 15th paychecks (In addition 1/2 of your current month’s BLG)….
So say a pilot’s 12 day trip extends 10 days… The first 2 days of extension are paid at 150%, the next 8 says are paid at 200%. Throw in there an extra 3.5hr credit for each extra duty period on top of that and those extension days are paying up to 15.5hrs/credit a day… so 8 days averaging say 14hrs= 112hrs+18 (for the first 2 days of the extension) 130hrs all payable on the 15th (plus their 1/2 month BLG say 38). Some guys are conflicting out their whole schedule and drafting/AVA their whole schedule (and having longer extensions) and that is what leads to those massive mid month checks…plus the overages are paid in the month following the end of the trip. So if your trip carries over into the next month than you do not get the paid for those overages until the following month… Any additional overages accrued in the carryover month would then also be added to the totals… Have seen guys that have worked 25-30 days in one long trip… and then take the entire following month off….
