1 hour of pay for every 2 hours of duty

1 hour of pay for every 3.5 hours away from base

5 hour min day pay per trip (average)

Reserve:

73 hour guarantee

Pilots all start on long call (13 hours). Pilots can be converted to short call 2 times. If converted 3-5 times and unused, one hour is added to guarantee each time, giving a max of 76 hours. Pilots can not be converted more than 5 times

did you see how next month all the PDX and SFO's are 2 day? But the time on the ground is less than 12 hours ... that's a bit tight, and might cause delays. This may also have to do with the daylight savings time schedule for Summer.

Yeah, I had hopped rigs were in better shape too... we may have to do some heavy lifting (again) to bring those rigs up a bit.. 2010 we did it for hourly pay.. so it's par for the course.

would love to hear from someone at Alaska on what they got in their most recent contract..

I think we need to look more seriously at international overrides and night overrides .. looks like the guys at JetBlue have all of us beat in that department.

A guy flying a trip to Japan or Australia should get a premium over the guy doing the west coast milk runs..

There weren't any changes to Alaska's rigs in the last contract. They are as follows:

5 hours per duty period
1 hour of credit per 2 hours of duty (never seen this)
1 hour of credit per 3.5 hours time away from base
International pay is $5/hour for captains, $4/hour of FOs
No night pay

I think if we can't improve our rigs, we need to add a 5 hour minimum day and add the words "or greater" to the language to read something like "rig, 5 hour min day or whatever is greater" to drive efficiencies. It would also be great to extend that 5 hr min day to vacation and training too.
