Not irrelevant.. they are advertising that you must be current.

What does the union contract say? This is the first time I've heard of this as well.

You guys have lines that are built to below 75 hours?? How does that work for productivity? How many days off are you getting with lines like that at PDT?

You can get all the time at home (not 'off') you want if you're an FO that bids reserve and lives in base.

If they don't call me the next two days then I'll have only gone in to work a total of 7 days this whole month! Reserve coverage is much greater next month and I've already got a 4 day premium trip scheduled so with any luck it will be the only flying I do all month but I'll still credit well above guarantee. Between the pay raise, bonuses, premium flying, and bidding reserve while living in base, I'm totally okay with barely going in to work and being able to make over $6k/mo.

So you'll credit 72 + 75 hours for the month? Damm that's pretty good .. enjoy!

This guy gets it!

My personal best was 155 credit and only put on my uniform 10 days in 1 month.

AWAC just signed 5 year deal with united. Guess PDT will be taking over a lot of their flying. Happy for the guys at AWAC that they will have a future.

I'm not pulling in _that_ much credit. I wish. When you factor in the FO raise, bonuses spread out over a monthly average (DH8 bonus + FO retention bonus), and a 4 day prem trip, it works out to over $6k. And that's only at the current FO double premium. I'm already set up to do that next month. Definitely doesn't suck right now.

Keeping fingers crossed for it to get back up to triple prem this summer. If I can pull this off for at least 75% of the next 12 months I can rid myself of student loan and all credit card debt before the end of the year.

I doubt I'll ever beat that credit but I'll be sure to brag here about only working a 4 day premium trip next month if the planets line up for me!
