ok so we have similar discussions about being paid to work on days off - i try and put it in perspective like this ....
the combined salary of capt and f/o is say , £100,000
we each do 600 hrs per yr
that makes us £160 per hr
about the same as a call out charge for aplumber
cheaper than the cost of a club class meal
we are the cheapest thing on the a/c and it may have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and cost thousands of dollars an hour to operate , but unless you pay the cost of an extra club meal -it doesnt go anywhere
