Open Time at United
Is open time available to pilots? How is it paid out, 25% 50% premium?
Thanks |
It's paid face value for the trip
|
Open time is posted in CCS. You can see open time in any base. You can pick up or trip trade with open time for your own base at any time. You can pick up out of base open trips at 1300 the day prior to the trip.
Trips pay straight time, unless crew scheduling marks an open time trip as a "premium trip" in which case it would pay whatever premium it is advertised with: 25, 50, or 100%. They can rescind that premium markup at anytime prior to a pilot picking it up. |
Do you often see trips with much soft time? E.e. Deadhead and trip rig?
|
Most trips have some soft time based on trip rig. The last minute trips to cover an issue, like a timed out or sick pilot, will usually have a deadhead, sometimes on both both ends if it is covering a trip that finishes at another base.

is it difficult to credit over 100 hours? At Blue it's not uncommon to credit 120 monthly

To me the real advantage to working at UAL is the difference in retirement benefits. You are talking at least a $2-3 million dollar difference in potential retirement savings between the 2 over a 30 yr career. That's where the big difference is. |
