capitalism. the problem is fucking capitalism.

That’s wrong. You can be on duty 15 hours a day and only get paid 3.5 hours. She misspoke or the press got it wrong.
Unfortunately this is true (assuming the PSA block minimum is 3.5hrs) At jetblue it's 5 hrs, at spirit it's 4 hrs. Duty can be scheduled between 12-14 hours and extended upwards of 15 for delays.
Take the example of this fun little overnight trip, you fly one leg to Norfolk, sit on the ground for five hours (six and a half, but half hour deplaning, one hour boarding) then fly back. Your flight time (paid time) is 4hrs33 and your time away from base (time on duty) is 12hrs35
But dont panic folks, you can be disciplined at any point during duty time for your behavior, where you are, and uniform compliance :,(
(Edit: blurred some stuff in the pic)
No idea if PSA even has a day value in their FA contract.
I say the same thing, where "flying" is transit time between places, even if there's a layover. There's a difference being at home and "on duty" as in on-call and ready to go and being stuck in an airport for 10 hours because you're doing a Chicago-LA-Chicago return and stuck in LA because the shitter's broke on the plane you took there and need to get back to O'Hare.
Seriously, that person is not at home and not able to really have control over their own time because of their job. It's more than being just "on duty" in a sense that they shouldn't be getting paid.
I didn’t want to get in the weeds for an audience that doesn't need to know the differences between reserves or being stuck at an airport all day on a trip that went bad over weather or maintenance. Yeah, there’s different kinds of duty, but for this argument I’d suggest the latter is far more likely. Long days made worse due to some disruption where you might only get one or two legs done on an RJ.
Probably an ignorant question but if you go to work 15 hours just to go back to the homeless shelter. Why not just skip the middle man, and just not go to work?
Maybe they live in a state that requires working for medicaid?
