Sorry it said PN and not PL so whats (PN) ? I get the P1 ie ( layer 1 )
1. Is there a smart way on the next bid period to avoid standups? what would that formula be?
also on a standup your just getting paid for flight time and TAFB nothing special here correct?
2. I have a standup up that ends in the AM and another standup starting in the PM same day. I reckon this is ok as long as there is 10 hours inbetween correct?
Thanks.
btw even with my monkey job on figuring out PBS for the first time 88hrs and 285 TAFB with 3 standups and 3 X (4) day trips and 15 days off. Not too shabby for a first year FO on a first bidding period I think.
** lots of canada

Standup pay is based on duty time. You're on duty all night and we have a guarantee of 1 hour pay for every two hours of scheduled duty. So if you are scheduled to show at 9:00pm and get released at 8:00 am, it's 11 hours of duty which equals 5:30 of pay. The block time on these doesn't factor into the pay.

I tried bidding for 3 days next month even my worst one credits 17 hours. Not sure what the change was that made the pairings a little better, but I have heard the days of 27-30 hour 4 days will come to an end. I guess the new software will try and average out the credit on pairings across the board.
Any new hires that have gone through ERJ training? Curious about the hotel situation in Aurora. I heard SLC rooms have 2 bedrooms and share a bathroom but DEN its just a normal room?? Is that just for ground school or the whole 2-3 months of training? Thanks!

food options are fast food places j.johns, chilis and junky stuff like that. get a ride to a supermarket and buy some real food so you dont clog your arteries gain 30 lbs and then cant pass your medical.
