They get back 18 hours later and tack on an additional 8 hours of delay pay making it 38. Contractual max is 14 hour duty day so they ask for a deadhead next day to get released and hop on another flight to get home extend the delay pay another 12 hours for 6 hours of pay for 44.

The devil is in the details.
Hahaha… I haven’t laughed this much in a long time reading this. Thanks for a great start to my Monday morning.

Cool so now all you need a SEA ice storm over a holiday weekend to really juice your contract.

Nobody voted no because of what was IN the contract. We voted no because of what WASN'T in the contract.

If you think our new rules are "insane"....your head will explode when you see what UAL, pilots were making during various melt downs over the years... 300-350% Oh, and that's under their very old and very extended contract.

The question was if 90-100 was the pinnacle. There used to be no rescheduling pay, no delay pay, no first deadhead penalty and no 200% pay. So the answer is 90-100 is no longer the pinnacle. Other airlines aren’t just creating lines that pay 300%, and also take people working the system to achieve it.

First, 90-100 was never the pinnacle. I know more than a few who credited high 100, even 200+ on the old contract. Not how I would choose to live but it was happening.

Second, do you think AS "created" 200% lines? No, it took a total meltdown and that's what we're talking about here.

Also, the return to base within 5 hours WAS in the old contract. It still has to be "FIST LEGAL OPPORTUNITY". Just because you get back at +5 hours, doesn't mean it triggers 150% or 200%. Being that there were many weather induced cxls, there will be a lot of pilots who will not be getting the added pay outside of delay pay. Crew pay WILL fight that fight.

So yeah....the devil IS in the details....

I wish ALPA would scrub names and publish numbers for 2022. The most clueless on here would be absolutely shocked! $561,000, I have 9,200 that went into my 401k that was NOT included (which is the max for an option A guy) My W2 will be around 530,000 as medical and personal 401k contributions are not taxed, so not included in W2 earnings. Many made more than me! But yes it is really hard to make more than 90-100 hours of credit at Alaska.🤔 Almost all of that money was made under the old contract. What can a AS pilot make now😱

Remember, all the 2nd year SWA FO’s make more then AS captains…”It’s all about their work rules”

Fat chance. It’s obviously not in his nature.
