As a former YX driver, I hope my former colleagues realize this LLBFO was nothing but an end around to section 6, and should be voted on as such. From what I've been able to read of the 217 pages so far, it's not where it needs to be. Good luck guys, you deserve a great contract, as does every other regional pilot.

i couldnt agree more. this is a 100% garbage precedent that is being set forth and upheld in this industry. this is a duty requiring you to be there for work and a work function..nothing less and simple as that. Same with premium pay. 125% above 87hrs? thats complete nonsense. OT should be paid like every other industry.....time and a half for any day you arent scheduled to work. Period. why are airlines always somehow exempt from paying fairly?
Open time looks like it will pay 100%, 115%, 130%, or 150% depending on how the company designates the day.

Fixes it for the company.....as in removing the requirement for a suitable rest facility for the standby pilot? Is this why it has not been used in the past? Half the damn crew rooms are nothing more than a computer and a v file cabinet.

The 125% is for flight hours only above 87. Deadheads don't count towards this. If you had a line that flew over the 87 you still get the premium you don't have to pick up extra flying.

The current crew rooms meet the requirements old or new. The requirement to give the pilot time to go home to get an overnight bag has been removed. That's the reason it doesn't get used now.

No the current contract requires the company to give you enough time to go home and get an overnight bag when you're on hot reserve if you are being overnighted somewhere. Basically they can only use it to cover day trips so they would rather not pay the 5 hours vs the 4 hrs for regular reserve.
