Question 15 hrs for redeyes, LUS east?

Rumor has been floating around for a while. Just a rumor?

Seventy-five percent of your fellow pilots voted in favor of 10+39-pay red-eyes.

And pilots are still picking them up off of the AIL.

Why would the company want to change that?

Really what base? In CLT they are all in open time everyday and mainly all the reserves are flying them. Well at least FO side. All I've flown in my last 12, yes 12 trips, are 3 day red eyes and all nighters.

CA might be a different story, but I've only had a few that actually picked it up. And that was usually so they could move a day cause they had something where they need a day off, not the pay.

The people that pick it up are probably just doubling up. I'll do them during football season of it helps me watch a game.

I've been flying them to my hometown, because I get a 25 hour layover at home.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. How much do AAL and West pilots get paid for redeyes now? 10 and change or 15?

The West had a 5 hour plus min day but APA gave it away.

LAA guys were *****ing on C&R about ****ty red eyes but I didn't pay much attention so they aren't getting min day either.

I'm not sure what type of trip you guys are talking about. It really depends on the trip. We have red eyes that are part of 2, 3 and 4 day trips that are built to 10, 15 and 20hrs or more. If you are talking about the LAX-Hawaii trips (1 daytime out, 1 red eye back) they are blocked around 11 and change (compared to delta and ual who get 15+.) but we also have 3 day trips with 24hrs off in the middle that are also blocked at 15+. Like I said it just depends on the trip.

East coast (e.g. PHL - LAX) departure at 18:00 and arrival back at 06:30 on day 3.

I haven't been on C&R for a while. I heard it quiet down. Are more pilots taking their meds?
