Correct. You're guaranteed 17 events with each paying 5 hours, thus an 85 hour guarantee. Many fleets are running near max capacity and a bit short of instructors, so doing up to 22 events has not been unheard of. It makes for a very busy month, but the paycheck sure helps ease the pain.

You get paid the highest category you can hold in your current seat. i.e. someone that is an FO instructor that can hold CA gets paid the highest FO category they can hold.

Bar- what's the deal with you posting stuff and deleting it a few minutes later?

I'll agree with you on one point: RA is pre-selling the story for 2016, without having secured the rights yet. As for as C2012, he's paid up until 2015. We can disagree about whether he paid enough, but not about the fact we're under contract.

As for strike preparations, I think you're premature, and I'm guessing the group isn't ready to make that transition until we have evidence that we can't reach a consensual deal. But, regardless of which one of us is right, most negotiations take around two years. In that time, I can think of a simple way to set aside about 2 months + of pay in the first 45 days, 4 months of pay in the first 410 days, and 6 months or more of pay by the 26-month mark. If we're not getting to a deal around the amendable date, I would put a little damper on the PS party by suggesting that all PS money be set aside for a strike fund.
