What are Trip & Duty Rigs?
Duty Rigs have a 2:1 guarantee. Let's say your plane experiences a mechanical issue, and you're sitting for 4 hours waiting for the plane to be fixed. Under Air Wisconsin's Duty Rigs, you'll be paid for at least 2 hours of your regular rate. If you fly for a regional without Duty Rigs, you aren't compensated for that time.
Trip Rigs work the same way with a 4:1 guarantee. For example, if you spend 85 hours away from your base during your 4 day trip, you'll be paid for at least 21.5 hours of your hourly rate.
Duty and Trip Rigs incentivize the company to schedule trips more efficiently, meaning you're making the most out of your time away from home. You'll sit less, so you can build flight hours faster. When you do sit due to weather, maintenance, or another issue, you're still being compensated for that time.
Commuting: Live where you want
Air Wisconsin's commuting clause gives pilots two chances to make your show time, which is when you're supposed to report for duty. If you can't make it because flights are canceled, delayed, or full, you will not be penalized and will work with crew scheduling to pick up your trip at a later date/time. We also offer up to 6 commuter hotels per month.
