I must not of explained very well.

As far as paying for time at the airport, we sort of do (indirectly). Here we have what's known as a "duty rig", which basically guarantees us 1/2 our duty time.
So if we were on duty for 12 hours, I would be guaranteed 6 hours of pay. That's the bare minimum what we are paid. Of course, if we fly more than 6 hours that day we are paid whichever is more.
There is a duty rig, trip rig, min day pay, and other things that go into what each day credits. It gets kinda complicated to explain over a forum.
