In talking to the same advisor the company has deliberately changed the pairings to benefit themselves, the advisor stated that when the 6 month ADTG trial period expires they fully expect to not renew it it...for the month of September I lost 9 hours of pay over 3 four day trips. That would have given my roughly $300 extra dollars and 2 days off if the 4 hour min day credit was applied and counted towards PBS, even if it didn't $300 is $300
You're confusing the new trips with ADTG and forgetting the fact that we now have LAX as a pilot base and no LGA flying. The draw down of LAX pairings out of MSP and no LGA is leading to the crappy pairings. Just a coincidence that it happened at the same time. No more 28 hour 4 days because of the DFW-LGA shuttle and no highly productive west coast shuttle flying. Those were the primary drivers of such high credit trips. Not saying the ADTG is perfect but you need to understand what is really causing the problem.
