Pay rate simplicity could help us take better advantage of the diverse fleet. If we went with 3-4 tiers instead of rates for every piece of equipment, it would reduce training and moving costs. I'd propose we capture the cost savings for reduced training by bringing up the overall pay rates.
Anybody want to come up with some tiers?
NB and WB's by range then seating? And why do you get paid more for cruising? Huh? Huh? Some of us 5-leggers per day would like to know!?

I'm just going with what they told me in the schoolhouse and during OE. I don't get the chance to taxi the aircraft very often, but when I do I comply with the limits they asked me to observe.

TC,
I think if you're getting more comfortable in the fleet it can't hurt for you to encourage SE Taxi. I'll often ask if 1 is OK, & if they seem hesitant I negotiate. I say how bout just 1 spinning until we get around the corner then if you want both I'll get the other one going. Many of my DTW CAs are becoming more receptive to this. I'm getting a lot more SE Taxi's lately, & I intend to push more plus spread Reddog 25's recently released SE Taxi data.

Look at us.
All this discussion and attention to single engine taxi, configuring late for landing and operating more efficiently and making more money for the company, etc. etc.
Meanwhile we happily slave away under bankruptcy imposed wage rates with nary a complaint.
Our loyalty to the group and determination to complete the mission is truly admirable.

Is single engine taxi really that important to you? I never suggest it. I just do what the captain tells me to. These posts *****ing about the 320 not single engine taxiing are really starting to bother me. SINGLE ENGINE TAXI IS NEVER REQUIRED!!!! It these captains do not want to single engine taxi, that is their right. Most 320 captains never come on this board. *****ing about it on here will not change anything anyway.
Have a cup of coffee. It should help.
I'll keep spreading/encouraging the SE Taxi mentality. You're free to do as you wish.
