Only 1/2 for the overnight hotels though. On the plus side, we can pick up trips for 50% pay to ease the pain

I wasn't kidding. I don't know any place that requires you to pay for upgrade and hotels associated with that. Once hired onto a company, those costs are covered. Of course 9E got away with giving pilots a hotel and pay in training for a long time because they were considered contractors and not full employees until passing their sim checkride. And to this day they still feel the hit when 9L/XJ peeps get their payraises on class date and 9E on sim date. Another BS item that the union "couldn't fight and obtain."

At least we get 1 hour per day guarantee.

Too bad if we get our trip canceled we lose all that money.

Pinnacle. Apparently you haven't been keeping up with LOA's. The newest kicker, that I heard from the cousin of a friend of an XJT fo, is that Pinnacle also now charges you for any extra sim time you need to complete initial or upgrade or warm up for a previously busted PC/type ride. You guys are idiots for letting them do that.

They are just going to impose our contract on all Regional carriers without the pilots getting a vote.
