Overall, the average daily credit is a bad idea for the majority. The min day credit is a better deal overall. The company will inevitably build pairings that will financial benefit them more but it's harder to do that and properly staff the airline with the 4 hour mind day pay.
If you're new here, don't fall for the union BS or the company telling you it's a better deal. I lost out on 16 hours of PAY in November and 12 hours of pay in October and 12 hours of pay in December due to the average daily credit BS. If we had had 4 hour min day like we negotiated in our contract then I would have that money in my pocket.
I'd stop short of calling the information the union put out there propaganda. They're just giving all of the facts, and being transparent. If they didn't do this, and go back to the 4 hours pay&credit, there would be plenty of people complaining about not providing information about both options and making a decision without pilot input. Seems to me they're covering their six.
If they weren't doing exactly that, everyone would be up in arms about them keeping secrets and not involving the line pilots, etc. Relax, read through the info, fill out the survey and at the end, vote whichever way you feel benefits the pilot group, and yourself.
