We are effectively paid less than our peers due to 50 seat jet rate and horribly inefficient schedules. That's all that matters.

QOL aside we get paid based off what we fly. That’s kinda industry standard

Yeah, then we make $300+ per hour picking up 3x, at least on the CA side. I’d much rather be staffed better with higher (than these new rates) base pay and just allow the 3x to go away. Grated, it is nice knowing you can pick up 1-2 days and make a bunch of money in the short term if you so desire.

Also guess what? Your not going to see 90 hour lines when the average stage length you fly is what 40 min? If that.

Dude. So wrong Let’s say for argument’s sake that your theory of shorter stage lengths = fewer credit hours. As it stands currently, most of our 4 days are artificially inflated to 16 due to the “min day” average. If we had a true mine day, and if it were on par with other 50 seaters at 4.25, we’d credit somewhere in the ballpark of 80-85 hours. 45/60 lines for July include credit hours OVER 75 (albeit not by much on some, and upwards of 82-83 on some 11 day off lines). So with 4.25, we get 4 more hours (at least) per month. That’s just ONE step we could implement to increase our take home pay, besides the hourly rates. Not to mention adding trip/duty rigs to incentivize the company to use us more efficiently.
There are so many things that can make this place better. Glaring inefficiencies all over.
