Tru that. Some LCA events are pure line check trips.
Using the current contract the LCA is paid $27/hour for the whole trip. It normally takes some DHD’ing to get in position to conduct the line check on a multi day trip. (One day out and backs are usually line check both ways)
So on a 8 leg four day line check trip maybe, you may (if it’s really efficient) get 4 line checks in - 4 legs under the new pay rate where it was 8 legs under the current contract. QCL’s are really getting screwed because in addition to line checks they do LCA checks and I checks trips which are even more inefficient than pure line pilot line check trips.
This is not a good deal for LCA’s.
