Shiz,

What's the source? You could save everybody a lot of time and grief!

Precisely! They are being aggressive about paying debt down which is smart. They also need to be aggressive about paying their pilots substantially higher than bankruptcy wages.

If you read the balance sheet/annual report carefully there are many ways to reduce the profit and keep the cash/assets growing. Prepaying on aircraft/engine parts inventory is one of many.

If it is made a priority the company can afford a sizable bump in pay to their pilots (those who have fuel, brakes, on time schedules, etc in their hands) while remaining viable.

RE "we are poor, the sky is falling" don't believe the hype. This broken record needs to be pulled from the playlist.

We're not going down the "hiding money" path again, are we?

I don't even bother anymore with the norton oor whatever. They slow down the computer as much as a virus and don't catch the bad stuff.

Not worth the time or the money.

Why not, we seem to rehash everything else over and over. I wouldn't be surprised by anything when it comes to financial statements, after all how much profit did GE make and how much did they pay in taxes?

Agee, I download the free stuff when I have a problem and delete once solved. Maybe I should try a restore point.

Slow,

You're unbelievable. I truly hope you are not representative of the guys we have representing us. If so, we're screwed.

Hey Guys, How much of a bump do we get for Reroute Pay?

Section 23.L
8. A rerouted regular pilot who is not scheduled to release within four hours of the scheduled release of the last duty period of his original rotation, or within the same calendar day of the last duty period of his original rotation, whichever is later, (the “time limitation”) will receive single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown, plus half pay no credit for any duty period(s) that extends beyond such time limitation.

Exception one: If such rerouted pilot is not scheduled to release at his base within such time limitation due to a circumstance over which the Company does not have control (e.g., pilot’s origin or destination airport closed, weather on pilot’s routing, mechanical on pilot’s assigned aircraft) he will receive only single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown.
Exception two: The time limitation will be 30 hours for an international category pilot when rerouted into, or while in, trans-oceanic operations.
Exception three: A rerouted pilot who is scheduled to be released at his base beyond the time limitation will not be entitled to premium pay if he is again rerouted for the purpose of releasing him at his base within the time limitation.

9. A rerouted reserve pilot who is not scheduled to release within four hours of the scheduled release of the last duty period of his original rotation will receive single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown, plus half pay no credit (in addition to any other form of pay for the bid period) for any duty period that extends beyond such four hour limitation and into either:
a. an X-day, or
b. a regular line day-off.
Exception one: If such rerouted pilot is not scheduled to release at his base within such four hour time limitation due to a circumstance over which the Company does not have control (e.g., pilot’s origin or destination airport closed, weather on pilot’s routing, mechanical on pilot’s assigned aircraft) he will receive only single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown.
Exception two: The time limitation will be 30 hours for an international category pilot when rerouted into, or while in, trans-oceanic operations.
Exception three: A rerouted pilot who is scheduled to be released at his base beyond the time limitation will not be entitled to premium pay if he is again rerouted for the purpose of releasing him at his base within the time limitation.

Nope, you're right about that unless it's bumped.

I could accept it if it's a 78 hour pay for reserve pilots, credit for SC, 15% pay raise and 15% yoy as long as scope remains status quo. I could accept 15% initially and 15% the second year and then 10% yoy if scope is strengthened.
