I'm probably the average guy on here, in 18 years I've commuted in for one meeting....and that was during the merger discussions.
T is dead on about longer trips. NWA had a 4:15 minimum day, and it's a huge driver on trip construction. Now, can someone smart explain a minimum day vs what we just agreed to. It looks real similar.......

Ferd,
Min day was just that. Every day was worth XX.
We have an
average daily guarantee, so on average they must equal XX.
Lets say X=5 ... with two trips which fly 8 / o / 8
Min would be 8/5/8=21
Avg would be 8/0/8=16, 16 > 15 so no credit.
Many airlines that have min days have prorated deals where a part day = part pay.
