[QUOTE=Roadie85;1203148]Sailing, if you take the vacation out of the equation, the results are a lot worse. Flying 75 hrs and getting 10:30 for a 3 day trip, you'll have to work 7.1 trips. That means you'll be flying 21 days. Many of these three days trips are not commutable. The TA will not help correct this flaw. We should have close to 6 hrs pay per day at work. Just one of the items missing from this concessionary agreement.[/QUOTE


Roadie,

The three day 10.5 trips are extremely unpopular and often end up in Open time in my category LAX 73N. I have to disagree with you about them being not commutable though. Due to the 3.5:1 the highest TAFB that you can have is 36.75 hours. How can you not commute when the TAFB is less than 37 hours?

Our redeyes check in at night and release early on day 3. There are some really crappy trips that retun later on day three but they generally pay more than 10.5 hours - although not enough, I agree with you here.
