HOME-BASE POLICY

Home base pilots will designate one airport from which all travel to-and-from duty assignments shall commence and terminate. This home base airport on record will be subject to Company approval and shall have daily service to multiple hubs on a minimum of two major network carriers or their regional partners (i.e. Alaska/Horizon, American/American Eagle, Delta/Delta Connection, Southwest, and United/United Express).The Company will provide employee parking only at the pilot’s approved home base airport on record.
A home base pilot may elect to travel to or from an airport other than his/her airport of record provided such routing is more cost effective than that from the pilot’s airport of record. Parking will not be provided for trips commencing or ending at an alternate airport.
The schedule rotation will be two weeks of duty followed by one week off. A home base pilot shall not manipulate schedules to fly more than two weeks in a row to bank multiple weeks off for a later date.
Weeks off are limited to sixteen per calendar year with no weeks off in the December “Peak” period.
A week is defined as a consecutive seven day calendar period.
The company may change a week off due to unusual factors such as training issues (i.e. availability of simulators and instructors).Home base pilots will earn applicable compensation adders but will not accrue RX days.
A pilot who elects a home base roamer position in an Empire domicile will not receive applicable compensation adders when flying runs to or from that domicile (i.e. a Wichita home based roamer pilot will not receive the TDY adder when flying ICT-AFW-ICT).Home base pilots at a location outside of an existing Empire base will receive a regional pay incentive comparable to the baseline location of Spokane.
Pilots may voluntarily forfeit a week off for additional duty and associated compensation, and a forfeited week off shall not be retained or banked for a later date.
For a new-hire pilot entering the home base program, PTO/Sick time will accrue at a rate of 40 hours per year with a maximum accrual cap of 120 hours in the pilot’s bank. At six months after date of hire, the pilot will have accrued and have access to 20 hours of PTO. The pilot’s residence will serve as the basis for state income tax purposes.
Current roamer pilots will be maintained under the RX system until adequate staffing levels allow us to switch roamers to home base. The company reserves the right to manage and change the ratio of home based to domiciled pilots in the system.
