They'll deny reimbursement, and ruin it for legitimate van no shows for everyone else. Learn how to use decs and save $5 a month. its not hard.

 

I’ve been picking up OT like a *****. Nothing like proving to those bastards that we can still pick up OT

 

absolutely, here’s piedmont’s secret:

there’s this little thing called Twitter, all ya gotta have to sign up is an email address and then tell the pilots to follow it, then scheduling will post open time with pictures of money raining down from the skies saying ‘PHL ca needed 4 turn @ 16:00 PRM AVAIL CALL SCHED’.

its cutting edge, I know.

the rest of the open time? gets posted on a webpage at a random time, after 3:00PM. to pick your trip, send an email in (BEFORE 3:00) to sched, then call them at some point after 3:00 and hope they have sorted through all the ‘GCOM’ requests to see if it’s been approved. they’ll deny it or approve it for whatever reason they feel that day (no known guidelines for approval or deny). oh and if you aren’t on good terms with sched, they’ll just deny everything you send in.

trading? must have both pilots email a ‘GCOM’ request to sched to swap, may, or may not be approved.

we’ve been perfecting these scheduling practice for years....if you need help, let piedmont know, they are fantastic with this stuff.

 

Envoy has likely the best OT rules of any regional.
Every single uncrewed trip has to be in open time apart from a 9 hour period the day before the trip. And trips assigned to reserves can be taken by guys on days off (unless the reserve puts himself on a list preventing this).

It's one of the few things that are industry leading at Envoy.

 

I know someone with 160 hours (if you include OT premium) credit this month.
Just out of spite.
(before you start questioning, it includes VC, DTS, sick time, and a ton of cancelled OT.)

 

this is exactly what the company has been trying to take away from us. every single chance they get. NOT happening, sorry.

 

Can you give us a little compare and contrast to the OT rules at other regionals? What are the OT rules at Skywest? Republic? Endeavor? Mesa? Expressjet? GoJet? etc.

Before you spout off something like "industry leading" and "Envoy has likely the best OT rules of any regional," do you actually know how those other carriers handle OT? Otherwise, you are just sounding like THK.

 

You're boring.
Yes, I know how others handle OT.

 

OT at PSA was 125% pay and 150% pay during critical, I imagine the same is true for most regionals. There was no appropriating at premium either. At Messa if you picked up OT, it was only 100% and it wasn’t paid on top of your guarantee. There was really no point picking up OT if you’re on reserve unless you wanted extra flight time or perdiem.

 

Envoy is the only regional (I don't have Silvers contract so if they have it, so be it) with unlimited OT, with appropriation, and everything paying premium, and where CS can not withhold any unassigned sequences or assign them in advance outside the proffering window to reserves.

Like I said. Industry leading. One of the few things in our contract that are that.
