Isn't it soooo nice to always put the longest delay on the highspeed since the crew doesn't time out.... just fall asleep at the controls.... Try Int'l Supp 121... we have NO duty day, literally. 16 hours, ha, sheesh, i wish! My record was being on the plane in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for 14 HOURS for MX before taking off for Cairo (3.5 hours), and then Brussels (4.5). Our duty day with this single crew was 24 hours - oops! |
During all this time waiting on the ground...are you guys getting paid?

The real answer to if we are getting paid to wait for hours, Yes we are. $1.55 an hour at Compass we are. Some of the higher paid airlines are up to $1.65 or maybe if you are lucky $1.70 an hour. Per diem. That's your pay. Dont spend it all at once. |
I thought you guys start getting paid when the doors are locked?
