We'll get paid but that is not going to account for the additional days we'll have to be gone. We won't be flying as many hours a day, the company is not going to want to hire and train more pilots to cover the flight hours they need too. We'll be working min days off and unproductive days at that. My idea of work is not 3 hours of flight time, 9 hours of duty to sit in a hotel for 19 hours everyday only to block 15 hours for the four day.
