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.
Assuming you're referring to the pre-merger NWA contract, the min day of 4:15 applied only to a turn. Otherwise, NWA had a 5:00 duty period average (vs. our current 5:15 duty period average).
I'm not aware of any airline, other than SWA, that has had a calendar day average such as the 5:15 we'll have by November.
