Alaska Supreme Court
Jeff Moody, Appellant and Cross-Appellee v. Royal Wolf Lodge, Linda Branham, and Chris Branham, Appellees And…
December 14, 2018433 P.3d 1173
Summary
The court affirmed the superior court's methodology for determining whether the pilot's nonflying time was compensable overtime, holding that he was generally free to use that time for personal activities and was waiting to be engaged. It remanded the liquidated-damages issue because the superior court did not make specific findings regarding the employer's subjective good faith. The court affirmed the denial of attorney's fees to the employer because the pilot's claim was pursued in good faith and had reasonable legal and factual grounds.
