What are your rigs? Don't you guys have a 3.5 trip rig and and a 5.25 min average/duty? How could you end up with a four day worth <18?
The worst credit trip I've seen at Alaska is a four day that started in the afternoon on day one and ended with a redeye at 5am on the forth calendar day (the trip was three duty periods). The trip rig still brought the credit up to 19+ hours.
