The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

[ChuckMK23]

But the question is WHO was it sold to? @HAL Pilot , @mad dog ?

VIN 001 Mustang Sold to Airline Pilot Three Days Before the Official Launch

The “mannequin” pony car was on display in Canada and Stanley Tucker convinced the dealer to sell it to him before the street date.

Only with serious money from The Show can someone afford it

My FO last week is gonna clear 380k on 3rd year widebody FO pay. Show is still good and he’s retired Air Fonce so he’s crushing the year! I would say that’s better than me but I think he’ll be about 70k short (best guess)

That's awesome. I also like the inverse... flown with a few lately that took the whole last year off with our paid leaves of absence. One of the Captains I flew with bemoaned missing his afternoon nap on our 1 leg to LAX.

Now it's all critical manning shortages (surprise, surprise), and can't find enough narrow body FOs to fill seats, and a couple hundred sitting around awaiting training. Company is throwing around premium much more than previously (2019).

Premium pay....I had a 2 leg 3 day LAX for premium last week. It reassigned after landing in LAX to a 2 day. I got paid for 3 legs instead of 2. the 2 I flew and the one I was originally assigned. Pay for those legs was all at 150%. Plus I then got an extra 100% for the reassignment.

Original trip was 12.5 hour but on premium paid 19.25 hours. Reassigned added another 6 hour but at primum it became 9 hours added. So trip was now 28.25 hours and a day shorter. But wait, there is more! 100% for the reassignment! That extra leg is 18 hours because it doubled (to include the premium time) so total trip was 37.25 hour, away from home door-to-door for 27 hours, and an extra day off. $12,215 for the trip instead if the $4099 it pays as scheduled.

I have 5 of my 8 trips this month as premium. I'm flying max because of all the premium pickup available.

The Show is definitely still a good gig...

It is absolutely raining premium pay where I’m at. Record levels. Anecdotally I hear that’s true at all the other places too. All as a result of chopping off too much of the seniority list during COVID. Bodes well for those in the show, as well as all the aspirants because of the high demand for more pilots.

Same at my airline. I'm out on a COVID LOA but the peeps on the line are killing it. They're begging for people to grab open time this weekend to cover the schedule. It'll be good to go back to this.

Was just talking to a buddy and he was debating picking up a premium trip this weekend. He’s on a DH home from a three day and just got JA’d into a two day. No need to bid now I guess.

DH? JA’d? Wait a minute….weren’t you just busting someone’s balls for being a acronym tool over on this conversation?

Just kidding…make your Deck Hand/Judge Advocate money…I am happy for you!

And this is why getting released from an end of work deadhead is key, even if you're taking the flight...if you want to make sure the next day is a day off. I didn't even know you could get JA'd into more than one extra day of work, but I haven't looked at the contract in about 16 months.

Almost all of the 16 so far for tomorrow are two days. Dunno the actual rule.

@Griz882 it’s different when I do it. Junior Available is what the call an involuntary assignment when they have uncovered flying without anyone willing to come in. They can’t call people on their days off but if you’re at work you can’t dodge them. Bummer that it’s involuntary but it pays double.

All kidding aside, sounds like a great deal. I wish they had that for historians.

I’m just happy I got the left seat back!

Thankfully they can’t do this at FedEx! But they do like revisions.. But guys are crushing it with the penalty pays and overage with revisions. They literally call on all my days off for draft (time and a half)

Congrats. Glad I could help ?.
