deadhead pay, trip rigs, and duty rigs

[utahpilot]

can someone explain these items in simple terms (I'm, afterall, a pilot)

Deadhead pay = pay awarded when deadheading (passenger riding) to a duty assignment. Sometimes full block to block credit, sometimes half. ....ect.

Trip rigs = guaranteed pay for a given length of trip. Say you have a trip that takes you away from base for 70 hours. If you have a trip rig of 3.5:1 you would be guaranteed one hour of pay for every 3.5 hours on a trip. That 70 hour trip would pay a minimum of 20 hours.

Duty rigs = guaranteed pay for a duty period. Say you have a 12 hour duty period and you have a 2:1 duty rig. You are guaranteed 1 hour pay for every 2 hours on duty. You would be paid a minimum of 6 hours for that 12 hour duty period.

Hi!

I would like to know which regionals have:
Trip Rig-and what it is
Duty Rig-and what it is

I know that AWAC has both, and they were pretty high-I don't know how much they've been reduced since the concessions there.

I believe that Comair has them, but I'm not sure.

I know that TSA doesn't have them, and I'm sure that GLA doesn't either.

I would especially like to know what they are for:
Comair
Chautauqua
Pinnacle (I assume they have none, but I don't know)
ASA
PSA/Piedmont/Alleghany
Mesaba

Cliff
LRD

PSA

PSA Contract = Crap, but better than the last piece of crap we had

Trip rig: None

Duty Rig: Nada

We have a 4 day trip this month that is worth 10 hours of credit. How sucky is that?!

Peace

Don't know about the others.

AWAC has 2:1 duty rig
3.5:1 trip rig (will be 4:1 when new agreement goes into effect)
3 hours minimum day (only one per trip in new agreement)

The trip rig doesn't usually amount to much extra flying but does keep scheduling from doing like the above poster mentioned and scheduling alot of down time. Also comes in handy when you get stuck at an outstation during a 3 day blizzard
