Everyone is bidding about 76 hours every 28 days now, that converts to over 82 hours per calender month. Its exactly the same. The only difference in the TA is that your bid hours go over the guarantee. All hours are still guaranteed unless you get your first turn canceled before you start your trip. The above 82 part is just credits you add on top of your bid value.(And you wont fly 82 with cancellations, but you still get the pay) You fly and bid the exact same as you do now, you get paid the higher rate. It's almost all pay protected. It doesnt seem like it is that simple, but it is. Min days off is also going up to 12 lineholder, 11 reserve so i don't see myself working any more days. Seriously, watch the roadshow, the math makes sense. I was just as skeptical too.
