So when you are in UAL colors and fly into Toronto and have to taxi the A/C to get deiced how do they decide how you get paid?
 
Man you guys are getting robbed.... Why not tie the ACARS to the WOW switch while you are at it. The other guys are right. It's between the company and your union. What, no union? You are so screwed...

I have never heard of not getting paid during De-Ice. EVER.
 
we can be closed up, ready to push, but we, by the rules, are not allowed to drop the break until AFTER de-ice..we can't even get the on time departure, per the rules, in the winter time if we have to deice. I do know people who have been called in on it, but no one who has really got in trouble. What are they going to do, fire me for being on time? United is such a crap hole operation, i'm ashamed to say i have to work for it. But seriously, we are not supposed to drop the break until everything is done, including deice, and we are ready to taxi. That can leave us sitting in the airplane, full of peeps, for an hour or more waiting on the deice truck in Chicago. The deice teams have done a much better job in recent years, but it is still INSANE to think that we can't get paid for this time we are in command, and responsible.
You remind me of the guy i'm flying with right now, no common sense on knows what the book says
 
Your airline pays your salary. It's an airline-union (if you have one) issue. Demand to be payed!!

You don't have to "demand" to be payed.

DOOR CLOSED, DROP THE BRAKE.

You get paid when you do that. You don't have to "demand" anything.
