Are you on FPL or are you spinning pro bono?

Probably not. Not without some non-CDO trips.
The 100 hours for 10 days work is a slight exaggeration.
Plus it would be hard to fly too many CDOs because of the FAR limit on consecutive night ops and trips that occur in the window of circadian low, etc.

I think the TA limits them to 3 in a row also. Unverified.

Have to raise the BS flag on this one....
We heard you loud and clear. The pilot group told us that CDOs were their top priority. That's what sailing's management buddies would have you think.

So the new pushback policy would be issued right after a TA that fails to include door pay? Awkward.

Public math strikes again.

I agree with your point though.
I'm not sure why the company would want domestic augmented.

Just have to wait for the TA and then we might see the light.

He seems to be far better informed, and informative than you ever are, as well as more balanced. I don't see him making personal attacks, which leaves the field wide-open for you to debate him on facts and issues.

Can you do that?

Absolutely. But, even if they did, I think my question remains. Does it make sense to you?

So from what I gather its okay to fly fatigued as long as it pays well.

Who requested them and when did they make the requests? Was there an ALPA survey that went out that I missed, or ignored? It's possible that I don't remember it, so I'm really just asking.

That has not been discussed on this forum yet.

The 7+30 is not a straight pay number.
Some of that is going to be pay/no credit for a lineholder and on top of guarantee for a reserve.

Rumor is that any amount over trip rig or block is going to be premium.

ie = if the CDO is 3 hours of block you will get the remaining 4+30 as pay/no credit.

There could be some guys working 10 days and getting paid 100 hours.
(again, state college math. buyer beware
)

We need to see the TA.

If that were the case some guys would still try to fly to 100 hours hard block and get to 125 pay hours. To each his own, but the "Man Wh0res" amongst us will be digging that.

Of course we all know what 15% of the Pilots flying close to 1000 hard block hours a year does for a upward movement.
