Yes, I am referring to a non-union employer. But to my knowledge there is no difference between 'types' of employers. In no way am I agreeing with it in this situation, but the 1250 'compensated' hours is a hard number. Technicality? Sure. It doesn't really matter what people feel the intent of the law is. It matters how the law is written.
That being said, how are you pilots treated during training, upgrade, etc....? Are you paid any kind of hourly compensation? Do any 121 pilots come close to hitting 1250? Flyingwise, what are the monthly restrictions? Is it even feasible to hit 1250 with flying, training, etc......
