$235/tfp * 1.15 = $270/hr for pay since the $235 is based on 52 min.
A tfp = 52 min so you can’t multiply 60 (1 hr sick pay) by 15% to get a higher number than 52.
125 sick hours at Delta would be 109 tfp or earning guarantee at SWA. Except at SWA you have the ability to bank more if you earn more than guarantee….not at Delta since it’s earned based on longevity
We def can’t accrue 270/yr but they can’t bank it for future years or cash out either.
Official SWAPA TFP to credit hours conversion:
"
SWA trip-for-pay (TFP) rates converted to hourly pay rates using 1.149:1"
$245.64 TFP/hr (current SWA 12-yr CA rate) * 1.149 = $282.24/hr
Monthly credit hours to credit 1,000 hours per year:
83.33 credit hours * $282.24/hr = $23,519.91
$23,519.91 ÷ $245.64 TFP/hr = 95.75 TFP
No-Sick-Note Credit Hour Threshold at Delta (120 credit hours):
120 no-sick-note credit hours * $282.24/hr = $33,868.80
$33,868.80 ÷ $245.64 TFP/hr = 137.87 TFP
Your example:
125 sick credit hours * $282.24/hr = $35,280.00
$35,280.00 ÷ $245.64 TFP/hr = 143.62 TFP
In order for 125 sick hours at Delta to equal 109 TFP at SWA, a SWA pilot would have to earn $323.67 TFP/hr
125 sick credit hours * $282.24/hr = $35,280.00
$35,280.00 ÷ 323.67 TFP/hr = 109 TFP
