Looks like 3 day trips can be worth as little as 13:30. Not good.
Wrong. If there is a flight segment in each day, the min is 5:15, or 15:45 per day. Some 3 day trips that end with an allnighter but start that last segment the night before are worth 11 hours or less. Now those same trips that were worth 11 hours before, would be worth 13:30, an improvement. Most West Coast allnighters to NYC, ATL, MSP and DTW (from ANC), and 3 days to Hawaii are all worth around 11 hours now in the current contract.
