Semantics, I think it is reasonable to assume "full pay" was in comparison to many airlines that give training pay during training instead of MMG. Do you think that your 30-50% applies to 73 or 76?. Look at the bid lines and you'll see that you are wrong.

Are you out of training yet?

Some people want to shade everything negatively here. Honestly if they got handed a cartoon bag of money by our CEO they’d complain how heavy it is.

True dat, while there are a lot of folks that are content here, there are some that make it a purpose to be negative. This will likely never change.

So true and I don’t believe I’ve ever tested positive for negative, especially here (to be honest, when you feel the negative side rear it’s head don’t let it bleed out). Good, bad or ugly just state the facts. Everyone has different priorities and they are met in different ways and everyone must make their own decisions to fulfill them. Absolutely no excuse for those with half a decade or more of valid information on the net. Best litmus test is just to look around when walking thru terminals, cargo bays, crew vans, hotel lobby’s, hotel shuttles, restaurants, where our industry is primarily found. It’s amazing what you can pickup visually as well as concrete evidence talking to crews on how life is on the other side. We are a very peculiar bunch and have a lot to say including my opining self obviously. Every outfit has their naysayers or inflator mice who are unsatisfied with their outcome or disguise it with obscene grandeur of how great it is. Unfortunately it’s in our DNA to cover, gripe or mob think at times. Facebook as an example in the common world is a major tool for others to attempt to make you feel like crap about your life or situation. Don’t buy into it or at least do your homework. If you are looking for serious answers, approach it as if faced with a medical crisis - one should always seek a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. opinion.It’s your one life, Be Good!

In regards to the “potential of earning some extra $$ elsewhere”. I was also hoping to do this during my training break, but the handbook is pretty clear that it is a pain in the ass and at this point would rather just fly under the radar and take my minimum guarantee. Any time you have to ask permission to do outside work from the legal department I feel you are just asking for trouble. Pg. 58 of employee handbook under outside employment for reference.

Far from a pain. It's very easy. You just email them.

And I would also think they would be happy to have you flying during a long break like that. Better to keep your currency than be totally cold when you come back for the sims.

Super easy to do a quick email to the CP. Unless you're flying a lot there should be no problems.

I am probably just too in my head about this, still in training making min guarantee to be home while still probation has made me appreciate the extra study time and family time.

The line “ disclosure of the outside employment activities to just an employees supervisor is not sufficient to comply with Conpany policy” makes me feel that this could be more of an issue.
