Meanwhile, the CA is frantically rolling fixes into the FMS while you’re twiddling your thumbs and posting on APC lol

Honestly I like shorter turns too, slightly less unpaid time I’ve got to endure to earn my meager wages; however, this is not actually shortening turn times. The only effect on the line has been taking away the bonus.

I don’t think anyone has ever complained about short turn times until it started hitting us in the pocket books.

So what exactly are we as pilots bonuses on? Is it the whole system overall turn performance?

Just fly slow. And by slow I mean fly no faster than the flight plan speed. You would be surprised how quickly the overblock adds up. You can still make A14 and score some overblock. All the company and DOT care about is A14 plus you saved some gas and added a few bucks to your paycheck. You just reinstated your bonus.

That is all fine and dandy until the first cancellation or reassignment and then all your overages are wiped out for the month. All you're doing is arriving late screwing the next crew and or passengers, very proffessional.

Flying flight planned speed isn’t unprofessional.

I load the flight plan for my captains. I guess you could say I'm a pretty big deal.

Is it unprofessional when you get stuck behind a co. flight doing .64 for no reason and miss your commute?

Thanks dudes, hope the 6 mins over block was worth it. Please save this crap for going to the outstation.

When have you seen a flight plan at .64? I have never seen .64 planned for a flight. .715 is about the lowest I can recall.
