Iceman-

That is not correct. You were finished when you were within 4:15 (min day) of the monthly max. Pre-BK, the monthly max was normally 80 hours, so you would be done when you got to 75:46 for the month. The company had a limited abilility to flex above 80 in a given month (up to 84, if I remember correctly). You would then have to be within 4:15 of the higher monthly max, but the reserve guarantee also increased above 75 hours.

After BK, the reserve max was set at 88 hours, so you had to fly to 83:46 to be done for the month.

That sounds like exactly what I had to do. I knew I was free around 85 hours.

Gents,
Lets not ask for increasing any hours in any way. 75 hours for reserve sounds good, but let’s not give any ideas that we can work more. Big part of deterioration of our profession is that pilots everywhere have to fly more to make ends meet and run companies understaffed. Too many people are overworked and half depressed.

I think we should ask for 60 hour line guarantee and 65 hour reserve pay with doubling our hourly rates.

Not to forget the main point of any new contract: RULES and more important than rates.
