Whale Rider said:For Polar its a 16 day work month extendable up to 4 days, but they have to have you flying towards JFK.
furloughfodder said:It was my understanding that if you are a line holder, they can not extend you at all....and if you are on reserve they can only extend you 3 days, but you have to be home on that third day.
furloughfodder said:Yes. If you are extended, all the flying you do during the extended days are 'above and beyond' guarantee. Plus you get an automatic 2-4-6 hours of flight pay for each day you are out extra.
In fact, ANY flying you do on a day off is considered extended duty, even if you volunteer for it.
Here is an example:
Let’s say you are scheduled to work from the 1st-15th. If you volunteer (or are assigned, on reserve) to work the 16th to the 19th here is your pay breakdown:
All of this is above and beyond your regular pay for the month:
16th – 2 hours flight pay + any flight time you accrue that day
17th – 4 hours flight pay + any flight time you accrue that day
18th – 6 hours flight pay + any flight time you accrue that day
19th – 6 hours flight pay + any flight time you accrue that day
…this continues until you go home. Considering most of Polar’s flights are 10+ hours it adds up fast. It’s not hard to get paid for 120+ hours a month.
A lot of people will volunteer to come out a few days early and do a turn to ICN or something, thereby earning an extra 30-40 pay hours.
