NetJets extended day

[BOOYA]

On the reserve schedule.

Called in and they said they were going to use me 2 days from now.

DNIF for day 1, 2, and 3.

Called in well for day 4.

Sent out to meet up with a captain on day 4 and he was on day 3.

If I was to volunteer to work on his last day that would be day 8 for me, would I get an extended day pay?

If I was on the 7and7 I think this would be an easy yes, but what about on the reserve schedule? The FM said which day i was on the schedule and I called DNIF the day prior. Then I called in well late in the evening on day 3. Day 4 I airlined to where the airplane was and the other guy was on day 3. If I was to volunteer would I get the extended day pay for working his last day?

Yes because even though you DNIF'd the first three days it would still be day 8 for you and thus they would have to pay you for the extended day. They cannot retroactively go back and call your sick days days off. You were scheduled to work those days so they count towards your 7.

Well, you either get the extended day or keep your sick days in the bank, a win-win for you!

That may answer my other question I had. If I had a 6 day tour I would have 3 off. Assume that sched said I had 7 days off till the begenning of my next tour. But of course that could change, but I'm actually sick, so I start callin in sick when I've been home 4 days after my previous tour. DNIF on my days off #4,5,6,and 7. Now tomorrow is the begenning of my 7 day tour and I call in well. I would not be charged for my 4 sick days? And I could be on for my 7 day tour?

You should only DNIF on those "off" days if you called in the night before the 4th day off (non-required) and they told you the next day was a work day. Otherwise you're shooting yourself in the foot.

What I was saying was if the company wants to jerk you around on the extended day by calling the other days "days off," you should then get those sick days back. You would also have to decide if you want to file a grievance over the company retroactively calling those days "off" days. What's more important to you - sick days in the bank or extended day cash in the bank?

 

[notaNJApilot]

how many sick days are you allowed per year?

 

[Majik]

12 (earn 1 per month)

 

[You're right]

This is the most pathetically sad discussion I've seen in a long time......

"but I was actually sick"......explains a whole lot fellas

 

[notaNJApilot]

imagine what goes on at the union message board!

There is no need to explain the definition of DNIF to non NJA pilots guys. Thake the discussion to the 1108 message board. You will get straight answers with non of the excess chatter.
