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
You CAN be converted more than 5 times...
Starting on the 6th unused, you will be paid an additional hour (ie- 2 hours of add pay).Reference: 3-C-1-b-(1)-(b)
And I don't believe the 1:3.5 trip rig has kicked in yet.

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

wow, carbon copy of what we and the rest have... I'm amazed that nobody lifted the rigs in their rounds... and a bit disappointed.

We want to raise our rigs here, but we'd have had a much stronger leg to stand on if others had done something since 2010 when we did our last contract.

Productivity is as much a give back as wages.. people don't' get that tho. They see $200/hr and get all wet thinking about it.. sigh.

Vacation, Training and Reserve are by far the 3 biggest broken QOL items here.. and were we must dig our heals in. Pay will be indexed up to DAL/UAL rates by simple arbitration worse case.. but those areas where we suffer most are in the time off depts.. 12 days off reserve lines have to die..
