I'm right now being paid to do nothing in SAN for four days.
Otoh, since CRT doesn't accrue during training (how in the BLUE **** did that get in a contract...) therefore it is Unpaid if you conflict bid...

Charters to stations that do not have maintenance in place will carry a flight mechanic. Same with loadmasters.

When I see the inefficiency in Atlas Scheduling I realize that there's all kinds of money out there to pay us. It would require a scheduling department that doesn't commercial me to from Dubai to Hong Kong to operate an airplane to Anchorage while commercialing someone else from Hong Kong to Dubai to operate to Hong Kong.
If they can pay the top 5 execs almost $60 million if the shareholders vote the Amazon deal through....then they can pay a HELL OF A LOT MORE TO THE PILOTS!
FUPM = F%CK U PAY ME!

Question:
I know the airline provides 'gateway' travel between your home and domicile but if your on a trip that terminates in your base. I.e. CVG are you provided a hotel or on your own for a hotel every night you spend there. With the DHL/Amazon stuff this could be a fair bit of time.
Apologies if this is a dumb question.
