I don't know how you beat rig with actual hours flown and I'd hate to find out.. But the trip rig needs to be replaced with a daily rig.
I disagree in a "positive" direction. We should keep the trip rig, and ADD a daily rig. I think all majors have both...

Namaste

What he said. Credited hours are far more important than hourly rates (would you rather get paid $75/hr for 62 credit hours, or $65/hr for 75 credit hours, for the same amount of work?) We need an "all of the above" strategy to ensure max credit hours in a month. The more types of rig we have (duty rig, trip rig, daily rig, etc.), the harder it will be for management to game the system and keep our credit hour totals lower.

Traveling from FL to ANC for about 5 months before I could bid out, I was imputed approx. $1,000 each month.

And not only that, much of it is understated on that site.

There is a long, uphill slog to get us in the parking lot of the ballpark.

We could also use Line Guarantee AND Trip Guarantee.

If you get awarded a Monthly Line that is 87 pay hours, then you should get 87 hours of pay, as a minimum...Line Guarantee.

Also...
If you get a 60 day line, with 3 Trips (typical for 60 day lines) of 50/50/50 pay hours, then you should get 50 hours of pay FOR EACH TRIP. If you are taken off one of your Trips, for, say, OE, and given a new Trip of 30 pay hours, then you should still get 50 hours of pay for that Trip.

Sometimes, you individual Trip Rig Guarantee will pay the most, other times your Line Guarantee will pay the most, and still others your Daily Rig guarantee will pay the most.

Namaste

A lot of unknowns right now about this place. If you're absolutely tired of flying an RJ and want some good experience, this is the place. Its not a final stop in your career, not yet. It can be if management gets their act together and brings up pay, 401, and work rules. Otherwise this place will continue to be the revolving door it has been. Come get a useful type, good experience, and go somewhere where they will pay you and treat you and you're family what you're worth.

I went with the hopes of a long future and final stop in my career, but having serious doubts at this point.
