If you are at a regional carrier (which I’m guessing you are), more than likely you don't and will not get duty-rigs because those pilot groups tend to negotiate toward the bottom of pay standards. I still have not figured out why. You would think they would get something in return from the company management. Oh, they do, they get to fly their shiny airplanes and call themselves "regional airline pilots".
I know what a duty rig is and that was not the question. Straight hourly pay would eliminate the need for a duty rig. You would only need a daily min guarantee. Nice slam on the regionals though.
BTW, all these sh!tty contracts happen to have Duane Woerth's signature on them too ...go b!tch to him as well.
