DH no mo PNC and PP ...
I am surprised that no one mourns the loss of PNC for DH. Can somebody explain USAPA's reasoning to let that one go? The union reps I have flown with in Philly land are all dead against the decision blaming CLT.
An interesting rumor I came across is that CB in CLT envied his colleagues on the 75 take 130 hours home with them. Heard it more than once...
(so it must be "true"...)
Whenever I bring up this issues I get replies about premium pay. As a commuter it doesn't do me any good if I get a call from scheduling at 3 am for a 8 am departure.
Why did we give away PNC for DH?

Not exactly dropped for something else, but since it's pay AND credit it counts toward your monthly max/min. In theory you should be working less if DHs were still a large part of your schedule in the past. It sucks for the reserves and for those who would try to pad their pay with a bunch of PNC.

That's what I heard. It was going away with the MOU, and USAPA leaders wanted to hurry up it's demise to get more butts in the seats. I don't think the training dept. can make that happen any faster.

From: Pitot heat, what's to eat?
APA negotiated the contract at American that has DH as 100% Pay and Credit. LCC had 50% Pay No Credit.
The MOU signed by both LCC and AA pilots adopts the AA contract almost in its entirety. Including the 100% Pay and Credit negotiated by APA. I suppose USAPA could have fought it but I don't see why they would, it's an improvement for most of the pilot group (100% pay) and as noted results in more pilots in seats which makes everybody a little more senior.
