FDX 757 Open Time
 

I was just goofing around on vips and checked open time on the 757 CA. There are several what appears to be 115 block mem-mem flights, most probably to do flt test. My question is that they only pay 3 hrs pay. Is this in compliance with the CBA? Any flt test guys out there?

I called the other day and to book a JS and was told it was a 757 and as of July 15th we could JS on it. It was a 99XX flight number. I didn't take the JS since I figured it wouldn't go on time if at all. Not sure what's up with it.

DCA/IAD ramps have been doing 757 training for several weeks, also know pilots currently in 757 training ...

Flight test is done out of BFM.

The MEM flights are training and proving runs. I saw them out there two days ago. Pretty.....

Look at open time. These flts are out of mem, and are round robin 115 block. My question is why do they only pay 3 credit hrs? Should they not pay 6 hrs?

Must be a standards/flex thing. Flight test trips are paid like any other trip.

Do the Flight Test folks (and tech pilots also for that matter) get paid as if they were on Reserve? I think I heard that once?

I don't care who is flying them, are they per the CBA?

The IND ramp is trained also.

I do not know about pay, but everyone sure has some cool new 757 polo shirts.

If that were the case the trips would pay 4xx hrs wouldn't they?
