Let's be clear. Min calendar day has not been in any contract since I have been here. We have been living it since at least 1997 contract. Our contract has been a schedule nightmare for a long time.
most don't know any better because they never worked at another airline. Some don't have to do them so they don't know or care that we have them.
I once worked 23 days in one month doing 10 hr. three day trips JFK to BDA. Nice in May. Not so nice in January. Rainy, windy and $25 hamburgers. Let's hope it changes.
