What is the pay policy for getting junior maned?


Thanks for all the info, really appreciate it!

Higher of block or credit plus 2.5 hours the first day of a trip then plus 1.5 hours for follow on days. A new pairing starts over with the 2.5.

Minimum pay per day is 7.0 or 6.0 for follow on days. On airport reserve pays 7.5.

You can have it that way if you don't follow the contract and are sucking up to scheduling. All pairings begin and end in CVG. As I figure it for almost every night you spent in your own bed another FO got stuck doing some trip to Mexico instead of also being able to enjoy MIA. Scheduling should call you not the other way around.

Pretty sure Jason didn't say anything about calling scheduling. I happen to know he got what would be a crappy Miami line for anyone else. It just worked for him of course. He was just putting the info out there if you live in LAX or MIA your quality of life would probably be better.

That's not accurate. I followed the contract and was awarded a line with mostly MIA overnights, then traded the trip that didn't have the MIA overnights with one that did. I'm the last person here sucking up to scheduling. If it makes you feel better, I was also reassigned this month to do back to back Mexico overnights.

Thanks, I agree. I just wanted to make sure the new guys wouldn't get the wrong idea from his post.

Especially not to a user who goes by "hackerbyday." I wonder what his other job is...
