Everyone thanks for the replies. Very informative and representative of a great pilot group.

One more: Is there any chance to pick up work for some extra money? How do they pay that?

thanks

Always more duty! But it depends on the base.

You get more pay by flying specials, excessive customer delays, or by picking up an extra line somehwere. Some examples:

1. A line pilot flys a special in addition to his normal run. In that event the pilot is paid at a rate of 1.5 units x the block time or 1 x the time, whichever is greater. A unit is basically an hour of pay. That could be a company sold flight or as simple as a reposition.

2. If you have to wait 2 hours past your block time for a customer delay you get 1 unit per hour delay after that.

3. If you have a run that terminates Friday morning, and you pick up another out and back that night, you get paid the other run's 8 units.

Additionally, you will be paid for travel time, per diem if other than your run for more than 24 hours, and reserves can make extra units by exceeding a 12 hour duty day or in some cases handling the freight. Some of the extra pay is handled differently by different bases. It's all one company, but each base is kinda run like it's own franchise. Hope that helps.

The ACP is a nice guy who doesn't force his reserve pilots to sit at the base for the entire reserve shift.

That's because he knows we'd go postal and he values his life :uzi:
