75% at good ol' PDT, but the jokes on us cause the FA's get 100%, but then i guess the real jokes on them 'cause we get paid more...Really the jokes just on all the employees at piedmont. Thanks Commander Farrow

75%??? Damn I've been getting screwed. Last time I DH'd I only got 50%. Thanks again Commander "I ran my ship aground" Farrow

shucks....maybe it is 50% i dunno....lol

Friends at Commutair tell me they get zero pay for DHs.

BTW our "Block or Better" is actually "Historic Credit or Better" and Historic Credit is the historic average of actually block.

Example:

SFO - FAT is blocked at :59 minutes but our pay for the leg is :55. Now we get the higher of actual block or historic credit (:55) if we work the leg but if we DeadHead we get paid scheduled block or :59 flat. What is nice is that we can cancel the DH and still get paid 100% of the DH. I do this ALL the time.

BTW people historically run this leg (SFO – FAT or LAX – FAT) very fast seeing it's usually the very last leg of their trip. 99% of the time we don't come back to FAT until the last leg of our trip.

Just curious, do they use historic block or scheduled block in determining your flight time limitations?

By the way, at XJT its 100% block or better on CAL only (and the charter guys get to keep their miles). We can also get released and paid for 100% of block if the DH is at the beginning or end of a pairing.

Quite true....unless you get the privilege of a double dead head. In which case, you get 100% of the block or better of the two dead heads. In reality, however, one rarely sees a double dead head at PSA.

scheduled.

Colgan is 50% of block or better. Thankfully we do not have to do it much.

We need block or better... Sitting on the taxiway for 3 hours waiting to get to LGA or PHL with screaming babies all around you can get annoying.

You do realize in that particular case that duty rig kicks in???

RAH is 75% of block. although several times where the actual DH went over block i have called and they have corrected the times (and the pay) accordingly
