That's a good 12-20% more pay for the same rotation. For reserves, that pay goes on top of the guarantee. That's not including any sit pay, ADG pay or min day credit.
So you think "we got 'em" this time?
The point is that I don't think these pay 'penalties' are going to do very much to change the quality of the rotations, but time will tell. I will also be interested to see how many more pilots are required for short call as a result of the 18 hour long call.
