Can you please post an actual pairing.. would like to see it and compare with the duty rigs and min pay we have a UAL.
Looking at our 756 Feb pairings, I don't see any 4 day trips with 5 duty periods. Might be something to do with "Work Rules"..
Oh, and the lowest paid trip is 20:18 (Domestic) and the highest is 33:16!
Pay Rates are great but they are only a part of the overall package. It's about how much your W-2 is for the amount of work performed.
Oh, and we (UAL) have plenty of 4 day International trips that pay 20:00 due to sitting over there for 48hrs. But again, you could get 4 of those 4 day trips for 80hrs pay but 8 actual duty periods, 68hrs flown and 14 or 15 days off.. Big Picture~
[At DAL, would those same 4 day European trips pay 21hrs?, for 84hrs in the month?]
Time will tell what management will try and push come contract time at DAL and UAL now that AMR has set a lower bar.
