When you upgrade at your respective airline, when do you start getting the new payrate? First day of ground school? After the fed ride/ioe?
What's your contract say?When you upgrade at your respective airline, when do you start getting the new payrate? First day of ground school? After the fed ride/ioe?
Our policy is after fed ride/ioe. I was curious how other airlines did it. We are still behind the times in some areas, and still run like a mom and pop shop. Which isn't always a bad thing, but we aren't always in touch with what other airlines are doing. If we are really different, the DO seems to be good about getting things towards industry standard.What's your contract say?
Nice! That would help with the huge cut in hours I take during upgrade.Effective date of the award.
Conversion date here at my shop. Sometimes it happens before training or during. "Kinda".
Something like that. More precisely, if you are scheduled to complete the LOE by the 15 of the month, your pay starts at the beginning of that month. If you complete the LOE after the 15th, pay starts the 1st of the next month.
OR, if someone junior to you, who was awarded the same seat on the same AE, converts prior to you, then you are pay protected and start receiving captain's pay when they do. Provided you waive your vacation protection.
There's a reason our PWA is several thousands of pages long.
Is this a big reason why guys elect to have junior guys convert first?
Ya, that's not what he's talking about.Normally the pay in this situation kicks in if it is due to company reasons, not personal pilot reasons. I you chose not to put in the bid, you won't get the pay.
