ASA Contract Implt

Correct, credits do not apply for the look back, but you could still possibly credit over 75 hrs, without flying over 75 hrs. Do I think it will happen? Not really.

Trust me it will. Every one leg trip to the overnight (happens all the time on reserve)... 3.75. Every time they call you for a CHA turn where you fly there and DH back? 3.75. A nap will most likely pay 6-8 hours. That adds up quickly.

I talked to a guy in the crewroom that had 60 hours block this month, and if the new pay rules were implemented he'd be paid 90 hours. Figure even if he got 5-7 hours of premium he's coming out way ahead.

Now, if you don't fly much, then you're not going to break guarantee most likely. However, if you don't fly much you're not getting much premium either. It's pretty much a wash...

But see how this will all play out: Read the reserve language closely. The bucket system allows the company free-reign to "balance" the hours flown by all reserve pilots.

The company will convert long- to short-call in order to avoid paying ANY reserve pilot a penny over guarantee.

If they really want to compensate us, how about the union arranging some more of those $5 Wendy's gift certificates? Remember that one? No, probably not.

I remember when I tried to use it the Wendy's in C concourse wouldn't accept it.
