I think that idea has a lot of merit. But I think it would be more than a 15-20% partial pay restoration. What do you think the average duty day is system wide? I don't know... I'm guessing maybe 8 hours? So a 4 day trip would pay 32 hours. Currently, the average 4 day trip pays, what, maybe 22? With those assumptions, that would be a 45% increase.
Of course, we wouldn't want to have that backfire on us and then Delta sits us in hotels for long layovers not getting paid. We'd have to have some work rules to prevent that sort of thing.
