The SEA-FAI run is only about 50 more miles than the DTW-MTY run. If there are strong head winds and poor weather at the destination you can pretty much count on a fuel stop somewhere.

Thanks!
I'm curious about this as well.

The Microtel thats about a mile from the training center you can get for around $50 a night for a single queen but they run out fast. I stayed at the Courtyard that is a few miles away for $60 a night that includes a full breakfast. Sometime the courtyard won't have any crew rooms so you have to reserve well ahead. Another class I knew of had 3 people split a suite (double queen and a pull out) at the Country Inn and Suites.

No, it may very well be a 30 hour overnight situation. Good thing we decided on 4 hour min day.

For those that take this the wrong way, crazyjaydawg is kidding that we will get 4:00 on this one. The flight gets in at 1am and if you layover until the next day for the 2am flight, you will not get the 4 hour min pay for a calendar day with no duty, since your duty touches all the days.

If we open a SEA base, this trip will pay 7:00 for the turn, while under the adtg it would have paid 9:30, since it was over 2 calendar days.

So lets base our decision to use ADTG on one FAI overnight. Come on man, you and this ADTG need to get a freaking room. You've beat the horse dead plus some.

Overall the 4 hour min day is the winner and the MAJORITY of the pilots want it that way. Moooooove on.

Seems like you guys can't move on. You continually state we are getting 4:00 of min day when we are not.

It's not beating a dead horse when pilots don't understand how our new provision works. All you accomplish by getting angry at me, when I state the facts, is showing that you guys can't accept that it isn't a 4:00 min day option.

The last thing we need is pilots giving pilots incorrect information on how they will be paid. Your continual lies about how our new provision works is a disservice to all the pilots at this company.
