Michelin star fried buns in Hong Kong...lazy afternoons with beers in town square in anywhereville Europe, crazy one off charters to some Norwegian Air Force Base......Give me that at min guarantee and I’m a happy camper. Stack it up while we can though I guess. As for the guy above talking about “$0.50 for overtime” above....... My W2 would hurt his whole family’s feelings.

The pay at ACMIs is horrendous flying a heavy around the world, picking up overtime to make another 50 cents to stay on the road for a month fudge that. With the amount of hiring that will be happening by the majors these kinda places will be importing pilots from China.

We are using API for hotels and transportation booking now and they claim we will keep getting points, but I am skeptical.

CBA 6.B.3.b
"The Company will also make commercially reasonable efforts to secure layover facilities that meet the following preferred criteria. It will not be a violation of this Agreement if the Company, after making commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to provide the items list as preferred."
Then it lists a bunch of stuff like laundry, points, shopping nearby, etc.
They can pull all the points and I believe we would have a very hard time fighting it via grievance.

API is known to screw up, all the time, and when they do, it can take 6 hours to reach someone on the phone.

ive heard of guys getting their own hotels. If you make your next flight and give the receipts to the company I’ve never heard a complaint.
