Are you getting paid for working on the grounded MAX 737's?Pilots are paid when aircraft is in the sky. Mechanics while on the ground. So I would doubt it.
Are the pilots getting paid for not flying aircraft?
Basically the 737 MAX is not the only aircraft available to fly.
If we as AMT'S are working on aircraft regardless of type then the pilots should be paid flying aircraft of any type. If we are working on aircraft then pilots are flying them. If the pilots lawsuit has merit then we should follow with one. A precedence will be set. Then it will be flight attendants and rampers and ticket agents. We all have choices of equipment to operate respectively. I doubt the grounding of the MAX will lead to career suicide for the pilots.
