actually I was talking about PSA. But wow you have capts picking up time in the right seat? And I thought we had problems. As far as getting the union involved in this, Its actually possible. We are entering contract negotiations. Most pilots i've spoken with are all in favor of trading SDO pay(time and a half) for duty rigs(open time not jr man) we can't refuse jr man here once they get ya, and they have more ways then just calling your phone. If i'm being extended an extra day I expect overtime pay on top of guarantee. But giving up SDO will solve the temptation of pilots to pick up trips. even after all recalls are made, and more efficient schedules will be created, with an extra few days off at that if we get rigs. Say goodbye to DH to TRI for a 23 hr layover.
