That's about the extent of your work rules. I'm not sure how you guys are getting so much time other than working like *****s and cashing in PDO's.

Yeah, but no jr manning!

Junior manning would cost me more money than cancellation pay would ever be worth. I've only had one flight cancel that I wasn't paid for.

K so are you seriously saying the company pays you outside of the contract? If so, that sounds like an accounting mistake and if you are taking advantage of it, wouldn't that be considered fraud?

You guys forgot 75% deadhead pay!

$37/hr X 1020 hrs = $37740, not $45k.

Its guys like TD that bedford loves. Im sure your peers would love to hear your thoughts on your current work rules. Heck cancellation pay who needs that. Might as well keep the 75% DH pay, and who needs rigs and a good commuter policy and the list goes on and on. Typical brainwashed RAH pilot that managemnt loves and is why all of us have little faith in you actually getting a REAL contract!!

fly safe

$37/hr is lower than my starting pay at Midwest nine years ago! Republic pilots could use their new colleagues at Midwest and Frontier to get a respectable contract.

I'm glad you have only had one flight cancel in your airline career, I have lost over 11 hours of pay this month on cancellations. Ask the Atlanta guys doing the Delta Shuttle if they would like cancellation pay. Several of our wonderful outstation bases deadhead on nearly every trip. Its great that we don't have Jr. manning, but our work rules do suck and that NEEDS to be addressed in the contract.
