3.75 min day for pickup/vacation (I know yours is better), 2 hour min day when flying less, 15 hour min for a 4 day (I know yours is better). All trips that touch vacation drop and 75 hour guarantee is protected. This means if two 25 hour 4 days touch your vacation and your line value is reduced to say 45 hours: your credit can not go below 75. So if you pick up after the initial window, anything you pick up is added to 75, not the 45 you will actually be flying. Using this guys can work a normal schedule during a vacation month and make close to 150 hours of pay or more if its red flag during the vacation month. Also, no matter what conflicts exist in the monthly transition, your line value cannot be reduced by more than 3 hours. So if you are finishing the month with a 25 hour 4 day and bid a line for the next month that starts with a 25 hour 4 day, they cannot reduce your line value by more than 3 hours. So naturally guys will purposely bid for conflicts and then pick up later in the month to pad their line value.

If you pick up an overnight on a day off, min pay is 7:30. We do not train on days off, and are paid in full for the drips that are dropped so we can go to training on top of our min day training pay. In short, any time our schedule is modify our pay is protected from our original line value at a minimum. We cannot make less than the line we bid unless we voluntarily drop something. If you bid a 95 hour line, no matter how many days off you get from vacation, no matter how many days you go to training, no matter what drops in the transition, no matter what scheduling has to modify, you're getting 95 hours no matter what. If you are able to pick up additional trips as a result of others being dropped beyond your control, it is added to 95 hours, regardless of what your actual block is.

Like I said, I know you guys have specific duty rigs that are better, and I'm all for adopting those. I think we should combine the best of both contracts.
