The other option is to protect min days off during the first month and have trips dropped, but you will still get the 4+30 for the training days the first month.
If guys had been going to ITU for the last year and a half and hadn't been getting paid for it, we'd be hearing about it in a big way.
In any case, don't take my word for it. Call your F.O.S. or ACP on Monday.
Excuse my ignorance, but I can't find anywhere in the contract where ITU is paid at a 4:30 for every training day.
5. Initial, Transition, Upgrade (ITU) Training Pay
a. A pilot in ITU training for an upgrade award or an award
as a result of an excess bid shall earn a minimum of his
BLG/RLG, adjusted as described in Section 4.I.1. (Phase
Sec. 4.I.4. (continued)
So my question still is if a pilot has already flown his line during the month ITU is scheduled he will receive BLG for that line, but I don't see anything in the CBA about additional pay for the ITU training itself. (over the BLG that was flown)
