Aaah, the life of a pilot at a bottom feeding hub raider.

 

[siucavflight]

Is this Mesa?

 

[gator_hater]

Looks like shuttle america

 

[Stifler's Mom]

9.27/hour 4-day? I hope you have trip and duty rigs for that thing, or are atleast on reserve collecting guarantee.

 

[buyagoat]

hopfully my bottom feeding hub raider will take your flying one day john pennkamp

 

[JTrain]

Hmmm, here's my definition of a really BAD trip:

You make more in PER DIEM than you do in flight pay.

This trip comes pretty close to that criteria.

At Shuttle America 1st year pay according to Airline Pilot Central is $23/hr

Lets assume the trip will unfold exactly as the schedule describes it

9.27 hrs x $23/hr = $213.21 in flight pay

Time away from base = 64.45hrs x $1.60/hr per diem = $103.12

Back in my regional days, I tried to average 5hrs flight pay/day.

wow what a joke!! I would probably be deadheading myself in the same day instead of wasting the first day deadheading just so get to SLC then sit in the hotel all day the next day.

 

[SYX328]

Good ole ASA or Comair schedule

 

[ReverseSensing]

wow what a joke!! I would probably be deadheading myself in the same day instead of wasting the first day deadheading just so get to SLC then sit in the hotel all day the next day.

Unfortunately, at some airlines if you drop your DHs, it comes right off your min guarantee. If you had very many trips like the example given, you'd need every bit of your min guarantee to have any kind of paycheck.

 

[COOPERVANE]

I HATE bad tirps









Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[labbats]

Actually, in the defense of the first poster this is a perfect trip for a first year guy on reserve. You're going to get guarantee anyway, so you might as well rack up per diem and fly as little as possible.

Don't bid it if you don't wanna fly it. The left over flights do need to get covered though...

 

[mwmav8r01]

Or you could live in base and do a 7:45 min out and back, or a 13:55 2 day! Living in base rules!

I have never lived in base before, but will be starting jan 1st, I have no idea what is will be like, I can not even dream of it, but looking forward to it!!

So it's true then? Thanks for confirming your pilot group's intentions for us.

 

[ilkwamh2]

You will work less and get paid more...plus, you get to go home when your trip is over, instead of sitting at the airport waiting for a flight to go home. Not to mention the headaches of trying to commute to work...that'll be all gone. Your QOL will improve by 5X.

it's a totally different job than when you have to commute. it's your standard 3X-6X on the "mo betta-ness" scale......

 

[StarChecker]

You are such a tool. Blame an entire pilot group based on one idiot's comment on Flightinfo....

And yes...it is our intention to "invade" CVG and take away "your" flying. We meet every month to plan strategy.....idiot.

I am sure that he knows their intentions. Wow, you need to get out more.
