It is "real simple". It is all about fairness and providing an incentive to go to work. Let's face facts, the company is way short of pilots. They need us to work overtime.
Now..........the prime fact is that we won't do it for free. Way back when there were good A-scales and such, an occasional trip was justified. However, with todays lower rates no one wants to do one hour more that is required.
If the company would come up with a fair scheme to provide incentives, the pilot shortage would dry up overnight.
Unitl then......no one is going to answer the phone or work an extra day.
