How far off base am I in believing both were pretty horribly managed employers, who only found what little success has come their way by transferring money from the employees paychecks to their own?

Not a great trip but I have family in PHX and the food is good. I get my March pay statement and find they didn't pay anything for the trip buy and somehow I ended up with less than the Reserve Guarantee. In talking with a supervisor, he says yes there's a mistake. I should've been paid 3:45 total regardless of the number duty periods I flew on the trip buy. It's in the Contract: 11.B.3.... Ouch...bottom line...never do a trip buy the sim pays 3:45 too.

On my phone so I can't go look it up, but I have always thought it was 3:45 for each day of training. So if you did a 4 day trip (or 4 duty periods) shouldn't it be 15 hours?

That said, it has to come on your X days to do much for you. I have had to do RCY a few times while on RSV and the gouge I got was ALWAYS fill out the template with X days to make sure you get paid above guarantee for it.

Were 3 of the 4 days of the trip over your originally scheduled RSV days? A call to DALPA might be in order to make sure it was handled correctly.

Btw, what category are you in that RSV's are being used enough to maintain recency? Every RSV I've talked to seems to be flying their tail off. Good for you!

I tried that, then "HUGO" came by and turned all the Grummans into scrap. It's always sumpin'.

Man this is very frustrating. Yes it's their right but....geesh look a little. Holiday weekend coming up.....reserve coverage way down as it is before sick calls.... the greens are going to fly. Nope here come the White nights to pick up the open trips for straight pay. Beautiful and no they were not filling up to trigger. In fact they were very very likely to get it anyway as a green if they had one in. Argh!
