Is this a joke? If you're flying over guarantee it should be OT, i.e time-and-a-half.

If I missed the sarcasm I apologize.

In the mean time, you guys got what was coming. I have an entire crew of friends still at SKW and they all voted for ALPA, not because it was ALPA, but because it was a UNION that would allow them to COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN.

Sorry to say but you guys have really lost touch.

Why did you guys/gals take the "link" down to the .pdf file, that showed the actual rates?

Personally I think we should organize something ourselves. Anybody for wearing red ties?

Please name a single Regional that pays OT for anything over guarantee...it would probably be a very, very short list! And further, do you know why it wasn't OT?? Because it was flying picked up from another crewmember, not open-time.
