What's the deal with the 30 hour layovers anyways? Not complaining, I sleep in, I'm on reserve I never break gaerontee (cajun talk) but man they're all over the place.
So $50 x 80 hours a month (assuming line holder), you're making roughly $50,000 less a year than before? Or at you making $50 less per hour over 80? or 85, whatever the 1.5x trigger was?
FtB,
One thing I would like to see everyone buy into is how much we should fly per month. I believe ALL of our pay expectations should be based on a 70 hour month and you shouldn't have to work more than 70 hours to make whatever pay a particular position should pay. Whether you're stuck on reserve with only 70 hours or senior lineholder who thinks 70 hours/month is plenty of work for a full time pilot we should translate our annual goal based on a 70 hour month. For pilots that desire to work more, more power to them (that's what white slips and green slips are for) but let's not base our pay expectations on anything more than 70 hours/month.
