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.

On an average daily guarantee, the entire trip has to be equal to the ADG * the number of days on the trip (minus carveouts).

Let's say MIN and ADG are both 5:15.
Let's the trip is blocked 2:15/6:15/4:15, or 12:45 total
With an ADG, you get 5:15 * 3 = 15:45 (because it's > 12:45)
With a MIN, you would get 5:15/6:15/5:15, or 16:45

Of course, keep in mind I have no idea *** I'm talking about, but I think that's how they work.
That makes sense, thanks.

Maybe we want to push for a minimum day then? One of those "work rule raises" that Wall Street or the other employee groups wouldn't see.....

I don't care how we make the W-2 go up as long as it goes up.

Thanks guys
