And the interesting thing about that is that the refinery doesn't need to turn a profit as a stand alone entity. As a matter of fact, we probably don't care if it does. What it DOES do is give us control of our largest expense... it is simply a bonus if it turns a profit. Sort of counter intuitive in a way...

You still hung over from this weekend?

While others have stated that this is treated like a normal reserve day, the answers were not entirely correct. The pay treatment is covered in Section 11 B.3. of the PWA. For each day of recency training a reserve pilot will receive 3:45 pay/no credit. The reserve guarantee of a pilot who is designated for recency training on an on-call day will be reduced by a pro rata portion of the reserve guarantee for each on-call day for which he receives recency of experience pay. This has the effect of the pilot receiving slightly above the reserve guarantee for the month. If the training occurs on an X-day, the 3:45 is all above the reserve guarantee. There is no provision for payback days in this scenario.
