1. 70 hours pay.
2. Why does a Res pilot get paid less on a trip then a Reg pilot?
3. 70 hours pay should mean if I get to 70 I should be done unless I want to fly more
4 Switching days off. There has to be a better way then the arbitrary capping of days.
5. RAW score...need I say more
I live in base and would be willing to sit Reserve on a regular basis if the pay and a few QOL items were fixed.
One other thing. As the company has converted 767 domestic to 7ER categories, the short calls have gone from 12 hours to 24 hours long which really sucks IMO. We've have basically allowed them to reap the benefits of these conversions, including fewer reserves required in the combined category, without a peep from us.
