And for the piece de resistance - 45 four day rotations that include red-eyes and pay between 17 and 21 hours!!!

35% of our rotations are four day trips with red-eyes that pay less than 21 hours!!!!

Thanks to our great duty period average contract.

The ALPA guys keep saying that "in total" the Alaska code share is good for the Delta Pilots. Although I am doubtful of that comment, it is pretty clear the LAX guys are being disproportionately impacted by the Alaska agreement.

Makes that SWAPA 6+ credit per day minimum sound pretty good doesn't it. That ain't all that is good about that SWAPA contract.
