To use the Trip Pay Calculator, you’ll need some information about the pairing. The majority of the necessary information can be found on CCS>Schedule>Pairing Information:

  • Input the desired payscale comparison (1-13+) 

  • TAFB is time away from base (initial report time through last day’s debrief). Input hours and minutes separately 

  • Duty time is the cumulative sum of all time spent on duty. Input hours and minutes separately 

  • Block Hours are calculated differently for scheduled pairings and past pairings. For pairings in the future, use the “Block” time in Pairing Information. For Pairings in the past, use the “Credit Time” information.

  • Duty periods is the number of duty periods for the pairing (NOT the number of days)

  • Position is your work position on the aircraft. For non-galley FA positions, input “none”

  • Market is the market flown for the duration of the pairing 

  • Equipment is the type of aircraft flown for the duration of the pairing

  • The night slider is applied to the entirety of the pairing

  • Input the number of boardings of each aircraft type. Remember that Boarding Pay is on an actual basis - so a boarding, deplaning and re-boarding is counted as 2 boardings. On the other hand, a cancellation prior to customer boarding is counted as 0 boardings. 

Disclaimer: This calculator provides an approximation of your pay based on the information you input. As such, the estimated amount may not reflect the actual payment amount.

This calculator works best on desktops and tablets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DOS and DOS +4?

DOS is Date of Signing, or the pay rates after the effective date of the TA, if it is ratified by the Members. DOS +4 is the final pay rate, 4 years after the Date of Signing. 

What is included in the “total” results?

The total results contemplate base pay, positional overrides, per diem, applicable duty RIGs. Boarding pay is shown separately. The only pay item explicitly not included is reserve override. 

Why is the calculator different from what I see in my pay register?

First, be sure you’re adding all overrides to your block time, as well as per diem. If the number is still different, it may be because the calculator only allows for input of one aircraft type and one market, and as such, small differences in pay may be seen. Additionally, the night flying slider on the calculator is applied to the whole pairing, which may be different from actual operations.
