You could find yourself in a position of getting a 20 hour pay check for the month. This happened to me twice in the pre-Covid lean times. To my knowledge this is a uniquely FedEx phenomenon. Every other airline has a mini guarantee. We have BLG, and for secondaries, all bets are off.
Not to sound like a FB fact checker, but please provide more context. CBA 25.D.2.d allows a “secondary lines may be constructed using trips, base sim support (pilot must preference it 25.D.2.d.iv), reserve blocks or a combination of the three.” Nothing about PNP or hoping pilot has to hope there is something to pick up.
Only secondary line holder gets PNP is a carryover conflict. Then SLG may be reduce SLG to the spread (13 hours) and difference between pilots BLG/RLG applicable crew position’s regular line average shall be eligible for PNP (25.D.2.g). Pilot is still paid the carryover trip/reserve & the reduced SLG.
Am I missing something?
