Default How is FAR 117 (the new rest rules) going?

So, I'm not working today and have made the jump from regional 121 to 135 so it wouldn't affect me anyways buuuttttt... just wondering how the first day of FAR 117 is going. Any meltdowns? Pandemonium? Angry mobs? Tell your stories here.

Hey guys, I'm oblivious to the way it works in the US as I am on a salary in Australia, but I know you get paid per flight hour... Does that mean if weather (or operational reasons) cancels your flights you don't get paid?

Varies by airline and even within airlines it may vary between reserve, linehlolders, premium pay and striaght pay trips.

In other words its extremely complicated - good contracts will pay protect Pilots at 100% pay. Some of the lower end contracts have no pay protection so cancelling a flight could cost the crew big $$$$$.

Sorry but no easy answer to your question.

As somebody said, it's pretty complex, and varies by the company. As a rule though, yes, most everyone still gets paid if the flight cancels.
