Sign in and go to MEC -> MEC DOCS -> PDT PILOT PAY GUIDE and download that PDF.
It has A LOT of good information that is often never presented to new hires to properly orient yourselves on the complexities of our pay system and the different times you may be obligated to submit a pay adjustment form.

I know there isn't a typical work week, but (assuming you live at your base) how often do you make it home at the end of a work day? Is 4 on 2 off a normal schedule or something similar? I'm coming from 135, where there aren't hard days off, so some kind of semblance of structure would be appreciated.

The secret as I've said on here a few times, if you don't want to work, is live in base and bid reserve. Admittedly, there is no reserve on the jet right now, but will be eventually.
I only worked 8 days in February and I only had I think 4 overnights. Half of that flying was just empty part 91 ferry flights. As for this month...I haven't even SEEN a Dash 8 yet this month.

Nice for having a vacation without having to use your actual accrued vacation time if you can hold those lines.

So all those guys getting displaced out of philly this month. You think they're gonna stay on the Dash or are most of them just going to the jet?
Kinda interesting the emails we got today about the incentive program and the bid.
