Erm, because if I don't fly due to sickness, I still get my base salary. If I don't fly due to rostering, I still get my base salary. If I don't fly due to every one of my aircraft going tech one month, I still get my base salary.
If I do fly, I get a tiny amount added on to the base salary. If I fly in to overtime, that rate increases.
Either way, I still get my base salary; which, as it happens, is the VAST majority of my monthly pay. Notwithstanding housing, which is, of course, a separate bag.
I'd have thought that was pretty obvious?
Hourly multipliers are nothing to do with our base salary. Rostering try to get us to work a certain amount to make us efficient recipients of our salary.
