A 2nd year fo at bendover makes what? 34.00/hr?
Yeah, and GOTSOAUTOTWIT or whatever your name is (I know) Some of us credited more than 72 hrs a month. Hell, my June line value was 82 hrs right out of the award. Trade a 18 hour 4day for a 22 hr 4 day, and its easy to break guarantee without really doing any "work" or "deals".
I'm just giving the man the facts not speaking in what ifs or maybes. Guarantee is all you can count on and I gave him those numbers. Many people came to spirit with the idea that high credits and released with pay was the norm. It's the exception not the norm and they got burned when the convinced their families it was the right move.
While yes there are occasionally 82hr lines that is a number management controls and is not guaranteed. Trading an 18hr 4 day for a 22hr 4 day is also a rarity if you are junior and again, with our current horrible 4.2/1 trip rig you're pretty much going to be dealing with a lot of 18hr 4 day trips. Yes there are also a few high credit trips but for every one of those there is a 14.5hr 4 day trip that has 3 duty period and a 21hr overnight to avoid the 22hr overnight triggering an extra duty period of pay. The company doesn't want to pay soft time and to avoid that along with our current route structure you get unproductive trips.
Just the facts
