"once a day 9 to 5 fleet"!!!!
Lets be fair. It's the twice a day, smoke me a kipper I'll be home in time for breakfast fleet actually!
Although to be honest most of that fleet have suffered the indignity of the Dash at some point in their Flybe life.
Sector pay - It was bandied about before but nobody would settle on a fair way of doing it.
What is needed is something like the Easy/Jet2 deal. Base sector pay of 'Arbitrary amount' for sectors of 'Arbitrary length'. Sectors over 'Arbitrary length' get 'Arbitrary amount' x 1.2 and sectors under 'Arbitrary length' get 'Arbitrary amount' x 0.8, for example.
So a 4 shorty sector day would get, say £20 x 4 x 0.8 = £64
A longy 2 sector day would get, say £20 x 2 x 1.2 = £48
Seems pretty fair to me and reflects the extra effort of 3 turnarounds as opposed to 1.
Plus a
decent rate of flight pay.
