pilot83 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hope you’re getting mins and not just sitting there for your day rate + 1 hour flt pay! If you are, you are better off working at the local bowling alley cuz that dude is making more per hour than you. Ahhhhhhh but wait you get to tell all the chicks you’re a Pilot right! That’s why we all do it correct? And to answer your question it would be a 11 hour duty day as TC would like to see at least 30 mins prior to departure and 30 mins after landing for preflight/post flight and paperwork. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robottxt Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Heres the systems i've seen to abuse the seasonal averaging agreement Company 1 -Flight time plus 2hrs Company 2 ( more generous, not like the dirt bags down the road) -minimum 8hrs or flight time plus 2 hrs for days over 8hrs flying Company 3 -If you meet 2080hrs your done flying till Jan1. Put what ever you want on the forum. Company 4 We don't pay over time.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleton Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 1.0hrs Airtime 1.1-1.2hrs Flight Time 1.5-1.7hrs Fight Duty Time The balance is "other hours worked" on the timesheet If I'm in the field, it all counts towards my 2080hrs for the year.

Namely: In general, an employee is performing “work" when the employee: is on any trial period or training required by the employer; is on travel time required by the employer; is at the employer’s disposal on the worksite and the employee is required to wait for work to be assigned or is assigned work outside their normal responsibilities; and is on a scheduled break granted by the employer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
