How much are you flying on RES?

[WMUSIGPI]

Havn't flown since August at XJ.

Being on a Leave of Absence does not count.

So me thinks that Skywest Inc had decided that the new norm for a reserve pilot is to operate the schedule, rather than just fly things as they pop up. And what is worse is our management is saying that the problem will go away when our PBS come in. Well Skywest already has PBS and it sounds like they are flying more!

Your company is lying (I know shocking) to you. PBS will only make things worse.

I think we fly even more because people drop there first or last or both round trip of there 4 day and it uses a reserve for a 2 hr IDA flight.. or a nice 4 day goes into open time and people pick up the last 4 legs of flying to make a great local and then a reserve is doing a 12 hr 4 day trip showing at 9pm getting done at 7 am.. I bid reserve a few months out of the year.. When I put call first it's always scrapy stuff. If i put call last I don't fly much but when I do its usualy a sick call and I get put on a ok (non-picked apart) 2 day of 4 day...

Today is my day off... yet I find myself in Gainesville. My Captain also got extended however he gets 200% pay while I get nothing. It would be nice to get something for this in a future contract. Just saying... I know they can do it and its per the contract but lets change it. Seriously, the guy I'm working with gets an extra 800 bucks or something and I get 35 Bucks extra (per diem). When I explain that to my non-pilot friends, they laugh.

That's complete BS.

I thought it was 150% for outside the footprint??? Maybe scheduling awarded him an extra 50% for having to fly with you.

BTW, your new avatar is kind of disturbing. :erm:

Pretty sure if you pick up a premium trip and then get extended beyond the footprint of that trip, you are paid 200%. Either way, you couldn't pay me enough to fly with him.

It could be hazard pay, because I am sure James let everybody know an Auburn guy was flying them to GNV, or possibly an extra 10% for every "War Eagle" comment he could slip into his PAs.


BTW James, you know who I am at work, just not here on FI. :beer:

So who's gonna be the clown that starts a new thread on FI advertising the new upgrade bid recently announced? Any wagerers?

 

[greed]

New vacancy bid coming up soon. If you're an FO, Bid Dulles if you want some time off from flying hehe.
