This is how my old company used to do it, too. We'd carry a rotating pager for a week at a time, but you'd get one day off as comp, not money. If it was s holiday you had a choice of two days off or you get to skip a rotation of the pager. Not too awful bad, at least I thought at the time. I wish we had gotten some $$, too or instead. We got screwed for Y2K, though. A whopping $100.00. Whoopti-doo!
I know there's a FAA restriction that limits use of electronic devices under 10,000 feet, after which point anything is allowed, with the exception of form of two way communication.
