Getting paid to de-ice (on gate)
How many get paid for this (with the brake set, and the flight not yet 'blocked out')
It's my understanding that Delta actually filed a complaint in NY with the department of labor, and are now paid, beginning with the transfer of responsibility (i.e. once the entry door closes)
Maybe the same path can be taken in Illinois.

*it's linked to the parking brake, and the pax door being closed.

What are we doing guys? When will we get out of this hourly wage nonsense? That's probably the biggest reason we have labor issues with management. We all do the same job, just different uniforms and aircraft. Let's get together and not the ALPA way!!!!!

so you can sit there for 45 minutes (sometimes longer) waiting for the de-ice truck to make it's way over. all the while, the door is closed, and responsibility rests with the crew........for free.
* i should have clarified the airport.
