Not really.

We will see what AMR does. Under the last LBO their reserves were 85 hrs max. So less efficient.

UCAL will have new work rules so you cannot compare yet. They are at CAL basically FAR MAX and that comes to effect in the summer where our reserves can fly or are on the hook for 99 hrs. So fairly equal

UAL still has some work rules but their trip rigs are comparable to ours. So are CAL's and AMR's except their current max fly stuff.

We average 87 hrs of credit per pilot per month. We all have similar work rules, so I would say we are as, if not more efficient than many of them.

A difference for example is:
CAL DH's the IRO over to europe if the Eastbound flight is less than 8 hrs resulting in it being credit and not flight time.


Many efficiency issues come from rotation construction. ADC of 4+30 will not drive more efficiency. It allows Carmen to build trips the way it does now. Fix rotation construction and any trip credit sans 6+ day trips and out and back redeyes will have no credit to them. It will all be hard time.

Because of this and other items, working more days or being on the hook more has to do with more than just one section of a CBA or PWA.
