It's 100% old school big union style featherbedding. That's fine. Don’t sell our profession short, or..better yet, don’t do such a ****!y job that your ‘all set ready to go’..after pushing buttons for ten minutes. |
Not DL, NK, just MO.
Pay should start 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure time, and end 15 minutes after actual/scheduled arrival time, whichever is later, on a per leg basis. Will never pass because WB doesn’t fly a lot of legs. But still way better than what we have now. |

I guess you sign that release having read the notams, checked the weather, briefed the FA, inspected the exterior or loaded the box…or the myriad of other tasks that we do to be properly ready all in ten minutes.

No it's you that's selling the profession short. Preflight pay is built into our hourly rate. That's why we always have to explain to the general public when they hear we make ie $200/hr. There is no need to start Mikey mouse pay add-ons like boarding pay because you're jealous of the FAs.

It's baked in, but even on the SAME FLEET, I can do 4x preflights/postflghts a day, or 2 in a 6 day window. (4 leg Rat Express ATL-MCO-ATL-MCO, or JFK-ACC/DSS)
Got some old contract or negotiator notes from a previous PWA you can point to? Not trying to be a smart-arse...I just prefer to read it from the black and white source....trust but verify kind of thing. |
Baked in as it's historically been this way for almost 100 years.
