I just don't know why you do this Sailingfun. Jerry's post adds JetBlue and that's what you jump on in multiple subsequent posts while ignoring the complete accuracy of the other airlines he lists.
I'll edit JetBlue out of Jerry's list:
Today we top out at 113:75 hours
For comparison
FedEx 216 hours
UPS 175 hours
Alaska 143.5 hours
UAL 136.5 hours
At the very minimum we must hit 4:00 per day. This would make our max 140 hour. 35 days x 4:00/day.
Hopefully much more. I see no reason why a vacation day should not be the same as ADG 5:15.
We lead the industry in not one single section of our contract. Not one. This comparison shows that we not only don't lead the industry in vacation, but we're nearly last.
