Yes that's true I'm still fighting it now. It seems that they only see Captain flying as 'extra' and will pay it out like per diem while some CQFO's are getting the correct pay. We were put on the Captain list but some of us are only paid the blended rate so its' one of the many pay issues that we are trying to fix.

Next month we were put on the FO list so we will get blended rate and then Captain pay whenever we sit left seat.

44 but whatever we fly as captain is posted on next months 2nd pay check.

the issue is we should get 62 as a minimum for the month because we were put on the Captain list for the month.

That isn't what he said. Try again.

have you personally seen the 62 dollar rate on your paycheck yet? I highly doubt tsa is much better then every other airline payroll and that sounds like a nightmare. if they needed captains so bad they should just put you on the captain bid list making every ones life easier. Maybe they just needed fos and this was the only way to get them?

And that's how the union interprets it I believe. They are getting paid as captains when FLYING as Captains but the mid month check has them paid half guarantee as the blended rate FO.

The company wanted street Captains but the union said no to protect FOs on property. Pay is done by hand and while it will take a little, I'm sure the issue will be resolved. Heck, cancellation pay is only paid of the employee submits it.

We were told in training from both the Director of Flight Ops and System Chief Pilot that, on a month to month basis, we would either be bidding as a CA and paid CA rates, or bidding as FO and be paid the blended rate, unless we flew as a CA then of course that would be paid at CA rates. All of the CQFO's that got done were told from crew planning that they would be bidding as CA for March, and were paid accordingly (not counting the other mistakes that payroll has already made). Looks like Illinois pilot has been paid incorrectly (all of my pay checks have been wrong in some way or another since finishing training). If this stuff keeps up it will be making a lot of folks pretty angry pretty quickly.

Yes, I actually received the $61.91 pay rate on my last paycheck (3/13) along with several others from my class. It was our first paycheck off training pay. I was paid 37.5 hours at $61.91 and a few hours at $43.42 to make up two days off OE where I was on the FO bid list.

We are the first CQFO class and yes, there are growing pains but they are being sorted out. Its taking the HQ staff some time to get use to how it all works as it is new to them. The company has had CQFOs before but most of the HQ staff didn't work here when that last happened.

The payroll department here is absolutely horrendous. Not only do they not get things right, but they will not answer their phone and will not return voicemails. I know one guy who, quite literally, left 12 voicemails to payroll and not a single one was returned.

So you're telling me I have to not only do my full time job, but I have to be a payroll auditor too?? It's things like this that will turn people off to coming to TransStates. If you want to be told something in the interview/training process, then get dic$ked around with once you actually start working....come to TSA.
