OK, But that's just the NOTAMs - right?

Scoop

 

I’ve seen flight attendants accept tips. I saw a passenger give $100 bill to the lead working first class.

 

Set your hat upside down on the floor by the boarding door. You don’t need to wear it anyways, and I bet you get at least a half eaten biscoff.

 

Probably get a bag of barf….

 

Not all of my flights are that bad, just the ones I’m PF.

 

Don't forget if you are at an outstation with no mx you need to postflight and fully put the bird to bed after everyone is off. My friend at the Eskimo says they call in their official time to stop the pay clock. Can round pre and post off to an hour

 

Has anyone ever done the math here?

Total month $ divided by Time Away from Base? That’s how little you make per hr while you’re away from your family.

I already had a job that payed me to be there before and after the flight. It was 1hr prior and 30min after the flight, it felt good knowing the company validated my time on the ground.

We do so much work on the ground that we should be compensated for it. I always said, the preflight is the hardest part of the job, you’re planning, verifying everything, dealing with FAs, MELs, Maintenance issues last minute, etc etc.

We should get payed for that time. Also, we should get payed for time between flight. Three hour sit? You get extra hour and half pay (30min post flight + 1 hr preflight + 1.5hrs between your duties). That and a good crew meal inflight and you’ll see how suddenly your 12hr duty days goes down to 8-9 with longer overnights and probably commutability will get better too.

 

So thats a soft pay discussion, i havent had a ton of luck with those on here.

 

Trip rig and duty rig apply here. Tweak those but beware of unintended effects

 

The rigs are out dated. We need a sit rig. Or better duty AND TAFB rigs.
