I think the ADTG is kind of a sham because the only thing you're not getting with the 4 hour per calender day is the 4 hrs of credit counting towards your max scheduling credit for the month. The pay is still there.

With the 4:45 those 30 hr layovers can be easily erased by working your butt off the rest of the trip. With a 5 day trip, you can fly 6 hours per day for 4 days and sit for 30 hours eating up a 5th day. With ADTG that trip will count for 24 hrs, but with min 4 hrs per calender day it would pay 28 hrs, but only credit 24 for scheduling purposes.

The company creates the schedule that fits the departures and arrivals that Delta gives them. The company doesn't care all that much about the 4 hours of pay, they care about the efficiency of getting the most out of every flight crew. I'd say if they're gonna make us fly a lot, then make us sit for 30 hours we might as well get paid for it.
