It all sounds like a sales job to me, like you make a base salary + commission. So if I don't meet the minimum productivity hours, I won't get paid? I don't understand
I work for a bank now, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, I get paid a full salary and we don't' have minimum productivity hours this kind of thing. Anyone can help?
Under POS18, the company sets minimum hours (adjusted at the sole discretion of the company) before air crew earn any extra pay. Each fleet have different hour target.
For the freight guys in particular, they increased the minimum hours so the take home pay for the same amount of hours worked is reduced.
There is a consensus that the company will, over the years will increase the minimum hours to 84 hours so aircrew costs will remain low.
