Thanks, DAS, looking forward to it.

She isn't a speed demon. The Mmo is .80 and typical cruise at FL410 with 80% max weight is going to be .76-.78.

Welcome aboard! Great company and a good airplane.

.76! Wow....

If we want to slow to that we usually just shut down both engines and let the APU exhaust push us!

Cue the X comments....

Got your email and sent the card!

Yeah, and how long was that runway?

What we lack in speed we make up for in legs. We have been BUSY!

Spread the word! Now if I can just convert everyone to Mac and Toyota.

What we have in speed we marry it with legs as well (my a$$ is not pleased about that.) Plus the cabin is pimping big...so big I should really have a standup vacuum!

I ran into a 680 crew the other day (they are all ok ) and they looked beat. They said they were flying quite a bit. I flew 30 hours in seven days but went to some cool places.

I hear both the G200 and the Sovereign fleets are getting a lot busier relative to some other fleets. Although the XL/XLS and X fleets still have them beat. If you like overtime I guess those are the fleets to aim for...

does the overtime come from working extra days per month, or working longer during scheuled days? just curious, thanks.

Both.

We have hourly overtime payments that kick in after 12 hours on duty in a given day. Or, if you report before 8am on your first day (as I did today), all time before 8am and all time after 9 hours of duty pays the overtime. (The rate is your annual salary, divided by 2184 hours, and multiplying the result by 1.5. A year 1 guy on the 7/7 would earn $39.06/hr, for example.)


We also earn "Extended days," which pay 1.5 times your daily rate. Those are paid for working extra days (of course), working on one of our 10 designated holidays (I cleaned up last weekend, with Good Friday and Easter!), and if the company doesn't get you home before midnight on your last day (that pays two of them). On the 7/7, the daily rate is your annual salary divided by 182 (then multiply by 1.5 for the extended day rate). For a first year guy, that's $468.75.

Amen to that started this tour with a 0720 show and did a 14 hour duty day.

Also I was just reviewing my last paycheck, didn't realize the 7n7 hourly rate was so much less than the 18 day. I got 47.52 per hour.

My husband was very pleased that he was able to fly the line last weekend, too. Luckily, I have some pull with the Easter Bunny and he allowed me to reschedule his visit for tomorrow morning...
