Extended Ground Time Pay (ExGTP)
Friday, July 25, 2025
Q1: “I had 3:40 on the ground in LAS. How do I calculate what my ExGTP should be?”
In order to figure out how much ExGTP is owed, we first need to convert 3:40 hours into minutes.
3 hours x 60 minutes = 180 minutes + 40 minutes = 220 minutes. Then we must subtract out 150 minutes.
220 minutes – 150 minutes = 70 minutes. Then we take the 70 minutes x .01 TFP = 0.70 TFP of ExGTP.
Our trip sheets have been updated to reflect the accurate ExGTP, which can be found in the GTP column. Keep in mind, the decimal must be added to this number to accurately reflect the TFP of ExGTP.
Q2: “I checked in for my pairing at domicile and am now delayed 14:28! Will I receive ExGTP for the extended ground time, even though I’m in base and it’s before my first leg?”
Yes. ExGTP will be paid on extended ground time exceeding 150 minutes after check-in, including ground time before your first leg (after scheduled check-in). This also applies when you report at the outstation and are delayed prior to working your first flight.
Q3: “How will I know what ExGTP looks like on my Payroll report?”
ExGTP can be found in the “GROUND TIME PAY” (GTP) or “GROUND TIME PAY A” (GTPA) bucket on your Payroll Report.
Q4: “Do Reserve Flight Attendants get paid ExGTP?”
Absolutely! ExGTP will be paid above your monthly (or block) Reserve guarantee and can be found in the “GTP” or “GTPA” buckets on your Payroll Report.
Q5: “Is Extended Ground Time pay compensated at a premium rate? For example, 1.5x for VJA or the additional 1x for Holiday Pay.”
No. ExGTP is paid at straight-time above all RIGs and premiums.
