inflight emergency return to ORD - there is no historical block time for ORD to ORD - so you get paid block. if it takes 2:00 you get paid 2:00
This is true. Happened to me just the other day. Not an emergency but a Return to field.

say you fly ORD to MSN - hold for weather at MSN and finally get in late after 2:00 of flying you get paid 0:52.
OK......So, if after you have an inflight emergency pick your destination wisely so you can be paid for your troubles. Otherwise NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Ha. Yeah right. Cant go the other way? For the short time I was at Mesa I always got a line that was 85+ hours. But the only thing is after CX flights and weather, I never broke guarantee. I used to want to kill sitting in line at LGA or IAD knowing the leg was credit for 1:00 but already having sat there for an hour, I was now flying for free.


And I wonder why I left.

Our new monthly bonus program involves pay protection on your line in exchange for perfect attendance. We've been hitting the goals for the past 3 months, so its nice if you have a 90 hour line.

It's sad that you guys have to work so hard to get what you deserve.

That's a step in the right direction I suppose...but most of the rest of us can call in sick, and still get pay protected.

Baby steps. We're trying.

On another note, I can imagine how productive contract talks are going.

COMPANY: We're bankrupt.
PILOTS: Give us money.
COMPANY: We're bankrupt.
PILOTS: Give us overdue money.
COMPANY: We're bankrupt.

Still only getting 10 days off with a line? When I was there out of 72 lines the top 7 got anything other than 10. 2 were 12, 5 were 11. It really sucks that you have to slug it out every month on min days and JAs without calling off to get what is rightfully yours.

I am by no means senior and got 16 off this month and will have 103 credited for the month with holiday pay. Something to think about.....


I tell everyone, you dont have to put up with Mesa's BS. There is life after.....



*edit to add*

I am by no means trying to bust your chops, I'm really not. I have a few friends still at Mesa and they tell me whats up all the time. I just feel bad that you guys still have to put with all that stuff.... I really do.

True story - since I have left Mesa, people comment to me all the time, asking if I was sick or something before, cause I look and act different now. The only thing that has changed is the fact that I left that place and it was like a 1000 pound gorilla off my back....
