I don’t mind 1.5x….of a much larger salary.
As long as new FO’s keep working harder and not smarter by picking up VEDs, they are not seeing the big picture. I would rather work a 7/7 schedule at a much higher pay rate instead of a CC72 with extended days to maximize pay.
The larger salary will increase the 1.5x extended day. The company will have to do something soon and hopefully NJASAP won’t stop barking in their ear about demanding a pay raise.
FDP needs to start at 0 and duty rig needs to happen. FDP for airlining too will hopefully stop all of the shoot first, aim later mentality when dealing with planes in mtx. Can’t tell you how many times the plane was signed-off before we landed on the airline.
Working a 12 hour day to fly less than 4 hours is stupid and inefficient. It wasn’t as big of a deal prior to FDP. Not flying takes money away from what we could be earning.
