What is a trip rig for those of us not familiar with the airline world? Trip Rigs A trip rig is pay credit based on time away from base. This means that from the time you report for duty until the time you are released from duty in domicile equals a quantity of time. Let’s look at a 1:3.5 trip rig....

If you want to help, report these companies to the authorities yourself. All pilots can do this ALPA could take steps to protect junior pilots outside the union. Or to paraphrase: you're not going to do anything, except blame new pilots for those jobs paying less than minimum wages? Did I get that ...

The heart of the problem is low average daily credit. Even rigs don’t fix it. Company takes whatever rigs you have and drives a Mack truck through it (30 hour layovers/red eye return to Base). Keep it simple - pay a DMM of 85 EVERY MONTH and available to work maximum 15 days per bid period (12 bid ...

As a junior flat pay pilot, my line in the sand is 100% increase to flat pay and only 1-2 years of it not the current 4. 50% minimum increase to formula pay. And of course lifestyle improvements also needed. Get rid of the flat pay in this agreement, and doesn't drag down future negotiations. Other...

Most instructors are employees.

Go talk to any airline captain on what their recommendation is. The ones that don’t try to talk you out of aviation altogether will tell you to get any job and build the hours as quickly as possible. "get any job" You in favour of pilots working below minimum wage? Then you also ok with working for...

Several posters mentioning pay concessions for other benefits, what other benefits? 100% deadhead pay? First class deadheads for all pilots, or 150% pay for economy deadheads? Federal law required daily min guarantee of 3 AC pilots could go for daily min pay of 6 or 8 Long call reserve? 150% pay for...

I personally think that a contract that matches an American legacy carrier is possible after some pattern bargaining. This contract is just the first step of this marathon, not the finish line. Pattern bargaining means "not this time, maybe later"....right? Where was the pattern bargaining for the ...

Accepting wages below minimum will looked down on by union pilots If your goal is to fly for an airline Oh please. :roll: I'm sure every pilot working at a union job turned down every crappy job offer or every unsafe job. :roll: A difference between when minimum wages were 40% lower. Pilots accepti...

Multiple companies posting with pay scales starting at less than minimum.

Poster thinks sharing a link on the minimum wage is volatile?

Are certain posters annoyed at paying less than minimum wage is illegal?

Accepting wages below minimum will looked down on by union pilots
If your goal is to fly for an airline

For junior pilots, your employer must pay you minimum wage. $33,000 a year is below minimum. Hours worked include all hours at work, including flight planning, loading, deadheading and time between legs. Even if you don't do anything, the employer must pay 3 hours once you enter the building. This i...

AIF fees go up $10. No one cares. NavCan increases fees. No one cares. Pilots want an extra $2 per hour/per available seat and the sky is falling. 150 seats x $2 = $300 hr. Average WJ flight is prob 3 hours. That’s $6 a ticket to give a proper raise. Time to stop the tail wagging the dog. It's up t...

Why do you think Air Canada pilots should be paid the same or more than Medevac pilots? Airline pilots flying same aircraft, same routes, same airspace, same destinations across Canada US should have similar pay. Same passengers transferring in the same day on codeshare. Air Canada's minimum should...

Unifor Local 2002 is pleased to announce that our pilot members at SkyLink Express have ratified their first collective agreement. Ratification meetings were held on March 29th and 30th with 59.3% voting in favour of accepting the agreement . Agreement: https://www.unifor2002.org/UNF/files/51/5138ae...

What about those currently on property? What's the new "A-scale" The A pilots had a small increase: • B190 CA = $67500 • B190 FO = $34000 • C208 CA = $43000 B pilots: • B190 CA = $64000 • B190 FO = $32500 • C208 CA = $42000 There isn't a published scale in the contract. It doesn't increase, other t...

There isn't extra pay in the agreement for pilots loading and unloading the aircraft with packages.

• Must be able to lift 5000 lbs unassisted

or 100 lifts of 50 lbs

Wasn't there a pilot who had issues lifting a few years ago?

That just seems too ridiculous to be true. There must be some sort of hourly or trip bonus. No hourly bonus, mileage or trip bonus There's $14 per block of flights for FO, and $28 per block of flights for capt "FCM Flight Ops Day Pay is provided whenever a FCM operates at least one Company flight o...

Several companies with direct entry captains or minimum hour upgrades to captain.
King air to jet captain
An ATPL and less than 100 hours on type could be the captain on a commute or deadhead.

Hey all, I forgot this post was still up. For anyone who's interested in my decision, I'm holding off on the upgrade until at least fall of 2024. Thanks again for the replies and PMs!
