Compare a productive day of flying continuous back-to-back trips, that pays 7.8 trips vs. a day of numerous aircraft changes, ground time, reschedules, airport waiting and an unscheduled overnight that pays 5.6 trips.
Return to normal pay rates in 2021 has been stated for non-contract employees.
I know what a trip is. Your initial description just wasn't clear. But now I see that you mean longer days with less actual flying.
I would think the same would be negotiated for contract as Gary indicated, but hopefully PSP passes soon and all of this goes away.
