Yep, normal line pays straight pay. It’s when you pick up extra flying from open time that there’s caveats and an LOA that covers us at the moment for time and a half. Without the LOA, you just get premium for the part of the trip that is “hard fly,” or basically excluding soft pay. No premium on any deadheads, and I believe no premium on trip rig either, but not 100% on that without looking it up. Right now we’re covered by the LOA so it hasn’t been an issue since that was agreed upon. With how these trips are built, if that LOA goes away, there is very little incentive to fly any extra.

PPE on Hard Fly is premium only on block. No DH no trip or duty rig. Great for turns... bad for a three day with 2 DH and one 35 minute charter leg...

What happened to the rumors of new bases back in 2019?

I was told the same rumors during my interview at the end of 2019. Then in ground school the higher ups said it wasn't happening. Many people have told me it was just management kicking the tires on the idea to see what it would cost them with the pilot group.

Recently had the CEO speak to a group of us and what I got out of it was to not expect new bases, and to grow more in MSP with more day-turns going forward.

This is very contradictory to the call that the union had this week. They said turns will be disappearing.
