being a pessimist doesn't make you a grown up,it just narrows your horizons. Go Fisch !!!

If we are going to settle for 10/180, they better include something like our first day OT rules for everyday and OT for any nonflying time when at the airport with a full crew and working airplane. That would bring plenty of soft money to bring the average pay up. That would be on top of the retirement improvements.

Why on earth should you be paid more when sitting at an FBO with a full crew and good tail (which is rare on days not named saturday)? More pay when you're not bringing in revenue...does not compute

That's not how the business model works. This isn't an airline, nor is it a "pay as you go" charter outfit....

I'm well aware of how the business works. You're at the FBO for when a new booking come in. Or a mechanical happens. Or a fatigue call is made. Or a DNIF is made. Or someone duties out. That's the business model, and should not require further compensation to do so. IMO of course.

we're not paid to fly, we're paid to be "available" to fly.

it isnt an airline.

Why are you bothering with him? He obviously doesn't understand what we do, he's obviously paid to be here to spread FUD, and he's obviously a management stooge.

Just bored I suppose.... really ought to get a new hobby. Ever try brewing Stag in the basement??

Management stooge, Fisch?

C'mon now.

Name calling is the last resort of a weak mind.

When one uses name calling, he has no more valid arguments left.

Logic is awesome.

In short, you lose.

Nurses and teachers contribute more to mankind, are better educated, earn less, and don’t strut around telling everyone how great they are….like a NFL wide receiver or the very small minority of pilots who have self esteem problems and give real airmen and airwomen a bad name.

Make as much money as you can, but don’t be foolish enough to think that you should be paid as if you are something special…you're not...if you were…you would be doing something else.
