They do not pay for your time, and that is allowed by the PWA. It is a cost of doing business I guess.

You also have your continuing Qual approved by the PWA. It has run 400+ minutes in years past as well. They pay for it is minimal, but once again, that is established in the PWA.

I personally think that in 2012 we should make it real easy. 5:15 for any day you show for work. That means 15:45 for your requal sim, 5:15 if you show up and scheduling cancels your rotation, not this 2:00 suit up pay, 5:15 for every day you sit reserve etc.
Some will argue this, but it is just the cost of doing business.
