Majority of our terrible lines now are averaging around 80-100 hours TAFB (time away from base) per month MORE than we did 5-10 years ago. Somehow Also with less pay credit. Usually more work = more pay. Here over the last year it's more time away = less pay now.

Think about those extra hours. Most normal people work 40 hours per week. So we are literally gone an extra 2 weeks worth of work for free..

Our old lines pre bankruptcy (not that long ago) were a mix of 1 day trips, 2 day trips, 3 day trips, 4 day trips.. TAFB would be between about 220-300 hours away per month for trips with overnights and 320-330 per month for a HIGH time line worth like 89 hours. Now we have almost 100% 4 day trip schedules, no other options, and only worth 78 hours pay but 429 TAFB. Or 74 hours, 400+ TAFB. That is nearly unheard of TAFB at any domestic airline and absolutely ridiculous for the low pay credit. I have never seen schedules with over 350 TAFB until this year. Now you see a lot with over 400, it's insane how inefficient these trips are.

100% of everyone's focus here should be fixing these horrendous schedules and the broken reserve system.
