What do you get paid for "High-speeds, Naps..?"

[FCPhotography]

At Pinnacle we get 3:45 or block, whichever is better. At ACA, Independence we got half of our duty period which worked out to 5 - 6 hours of pay for usually two 1 hour legs (very nice).

We are in negotiations and I am curious to what other regionals get these days.

Thanks.

Air Wisconsin 5hr credit or actual block.

We don't do those at PDT.

Mesaba is 4.0 Hr Min day or better.
This almost comes into play at Mesaba however. We have consolidated CDO all or none you either have a whole line on CDO 11 days off or No CDO. Most CDO lines credit 55-65 hr of credit which is paid out as 75HR monthly Min guarantee.

Big Sky is 2 for 1 Duty time =14 hr duty min 7hr pay.

The industry ain't what it used to be.

Could someone please explain in real simple terms as if to a moron (me) how these pay ratio things (4:1 2:1), duty block, per diem, etc. work?

O.K. I'll try...

Duty time...from the time you show up to work until some agreed upon time after your last flight.

Block...the actual flight time.

4:1 or 2:1...For every 4 (or 2)hours of duty time, you get paid one hour of flight time. Obviously 2:1 is a whole lot better than 4:1.

Per diem...An agreed upon hourly rate given to you while you're on duty to cover associated expenses, like food. At most airlines its about $1.50/hr, give or take a few cents.

These are a few of the reasons that when people talk about pay in the airline industry, hourly rates don't tell the whole story. They are oversimplified, but I hope it helps.
