I'd like something like; all credit in excess of 85 hrs paid at 150%. Incentive for pilots who want the hours and a reason for mgmt not to run short.

Agree. As it stands now, there is no incentive for the company to staff more pilots. Or put another way, we have nothing in our contract to penalize the company (or reward the pilots) for overworking the pilots. The only thing I can hope for, is to have high block times every month, so I can time out around day 340, to give me a few extra weeks off.I imagine with everyone working so much, this is a real possibility for a number of pilots starting this December.

In my opinion, this is only the beginning, the staffing situation won't be getting better with new airplanes coming and flows leaving.

Some of the LOAs that have been signed recently are questionable at best. Oh well, at least those that signed them are off to bigger and better things...

So are you guys canceling flights because of lack of crews? I actually flew an empty CRJ900 from Slc to lax yesterday so I could do some Compass flying from lax to pdx and back with passengers and then flew the empty airplane back to Slc. I was told it was a compass flight and we covered the flying. I can't imagine how much delta had to pay for us to cover that flight and what that does to compass. Any idea why we covered the flying?

There were something like 4 planes down for maintenance out west a couple days ago. Definitely not crew related and that stuff happens all the time, we've covered for Skywest too.

Why not 150% pay for anything over 75 hours? The company should be severely penalized for raising the floor above 75 hours. Hire more pilots. This was a massive union FAIL. Just like the 4:45 average daily credit pay BS. 19 hour 4 day when it should be worth 23 hours with a 30 hour overnight thrown in there. SO glad the union leadership is gone and replaced with new blood. Maybe the new guys will know how to negotiate or not put up with the company trying to screw over the pilots. Then when it's time to sell the crappy LOA to the pilots they won't have to pretend all is well. Our previous guys were professionals at putting lipstick on a smelly pig.
