From what I read and inferred, a (former) California pilot is filing a lawsuit saying pilots weren't paid greater than minimum wage. The letter mentions that pilots are only paid for 8 hours of work but are at work longer hours. Also claiming they didn't receive everything that was due to them at the final check.
 
That is correct from wha I remember. Looks like you can agree to either part of that argument on the paper, if I could just find the damn thing.
 
Well the company is/was headquartered in CA so everyone was working for a CA based company, therefore fall under CA working laws.
 
If we can look at the real reason that AMF is moving to Texas, I think it has to do with adhering to CA labor laws and taxes so I am pretty sure they have to uphold CA labor standards.

New York is particularly vile .. in many ways. But especially when it comes from 'where work is performed'. They cast a hugely wide net when it comes to work 'done' there.

Evil state.

Taxes, yes. Work rules for office employees, yes. CA labor laws for pilots in other states? I doubt it.

Well either way, I'll snap a pic of the letter tomorrow if I remember, I ended up finding it. At least all the CA pilots will be getting it.
 
Does anyone at AMF(except for LAN, SJU, and a few odd ball outstations) "work" more than 4-6 hours a day anyways?

A max duty day in the airline world isn't going to have a "day room". We get hotels and lounges for a measly TWO hours. Just saying... :)

It is weird doing these new SUS runs that block 9.0 over an 11 hour duty day while still getting paid 8 'hours' a day.

Don't even get me started. Being on the company beck and call for 16 hours is work. So because they grace you with the honor of sitting in some cockroach infested hotel or crew apartment, that isn't work? A max duty day at the airline also comes with salary and per diem. Guess who also gets per diem, everyone... 8 hour work blocks for 16 hour duty days is complete garbage. If I am not sitting at home, and I am in my uniform, I am working. Whether I am flying or not.

I've never been at "AMF's beck and call" after completing a run, nor have I EVER been in uniform or even thinking about work for more than 5.5 hours, except for SJU and LAN. LBB for example. 1.4 hours to DFW, crew apartment for 6, 1.4 back. Omaha. 1.3-4 to Omaha, 8 hours in the crew apartment, 1.3-1.4 back. Buffalo is the same. Seattle is the same. Miami is the same. Burbank is actually a 4 hour duty day in the 99(if your can threaten your way out of the BS 5:30 reserve at least) the same as described earlier in the Metro. ZOMG!!!!! SO much work!!!!!!!

Some sarcasm, but mostly not. Some runs BLOW, but most of them are WAY less than 8 hours of "work".
