Like I said, it was my first month on the line, not my first month as a line holder. There were 2 days of 150% because of flying on a day off (although at least two other days should've been as well per the contract), and three 30 hour overnights that paid 4 hour min day for reserves. I blocked about 75 that month and credited just shy of 120.

Again, none of the above is normal, and probably also why I'm starting at a different regional tomorrow.

3rd airlines a charm lol.

Darn straight.

Where to now?

I am just simply trying to understand your math. " it was my first month on the line, not my first month as a line holde" meaning you were on reserve.

1. You blocked (actually flew) ~75 hours.
2. You had two days paid at 150%
3. 12 credits added due to your 30 hour over nights

1. At Gojet 99% of the time Block = Credit so you had ~75 credit
2. Two days at 150% for flying on your days off giving GoJet the benefit of the doubt and assuming your two days were credited at 10 hours each = 30 credit
3. 12 credits
All adds us to 117 like you said :) that is awesome :)

My questions are:

1.IF you were on reserve, how were you able to fly legally at GoJet because you only would have had a max of 3 days off in between reserve periods once maybe twice in one month?

2. How were you assigned those trips right away? Pilots on reserve as per the contract cannot be assigned trips until after Open Time bids are closed and Line Holders have been given the opportunity to trade/pick up those trips?

Don't take this the wrong way, I am just trying to learn.

Aside from the current flow of questions: Don't fall for the Bonus program at any airline. Take it from me if you will; when I was in the Navy, I received a $5000 bonus. After taxes (yes it is taxed) and other small installments, the money never made up for all the heart ache and pain I had to endure until I made rank and was actually paid properly.

I joined not knowing there was a bonus so, to me it wasn't about the money. But it did give me knowledge and experience when dealing with companies that offer bonuses.

This is what GoJet does: When line holders cannot complete a trip/flight, instead of publishing it on Open Time, those flights are immediately given to a reserve pilot. Reserve pilots are happy because they get to fly and get to save money on hotels during their reserve periods. You may think, well this ok then, why wouldn't I be ok with helping a fellow pilot? Its not about that, its about the fact that both line holders and reserve pilots are ok with this (which is a violation of the contract). So, If I am Steve Briner (D.O) and the stewards came to me to resolve this matter and perhaps ask for better reserve rules, I would laugh at them after the meeting is over.

For one, I would blast this issue right back at the GoJet stewards with the fact that their pilots are ok with the way things are and give them examples of the may times their pilot groups were ok with breaking the contract for their own gain, but then come back at Me the D.O when I need something done in order to ensure the company's success.

This is what actually happens ladies and gents at the negotiation tables. Do not go there expecting things to get better. Do not go there hoping to change things. Do not go there HOPING.

One the birds with one FMS, does the FO program as well, or just the captain?serious question.

It's the same as it is for the dual FMS, the PF does what the PF always does and the PNF does what the PNF always does.
