Would have paid 15 at NK, because paid per duty, not calendar day. Actually called ALPA, because I could not believe there was no duty pay....
And I honestly would rather do the 2 nights away, because it gives me an extra day at home while everyone is awake, but that might be just me.



Just your 35 hour sit would already pay 10 hours due to trip rigs, so that is not a great example. And at NK you would get an extra duty pay for every layover over 24 hours, so it would pay 15...


Definitely not saying everything was rainbows and unicorns at NK, but the contract had some good things I don't see now. I just don't see the benefits of calendar day, once you take the optimizer into account. I am working a lot harder per credit hour than I used to. And this is the F9 forum, so I will be gone.
