Because we don't get hourly pay, for the most part, they throw pennies at us for working on a day off. Top T777 pay at one legacy is $270/hr. If they call you on a day off, pay then is $540/hr. So using some logic here (in short supply here), disregarding our hourly pittance let's do some maths. Using an average salary of 45,000/92hrs=489/hr. Double that to 978/hr and you can see what might be what you deserve, flying on a day off. Doing let's say a turn somewhere (5 hrs of flying) and you deserve 5x978=4890AED......minimum. All daydreaming of course. But that is your worth for disrupting you life and rest. Anything less and you are selling yourself like a street.........
