There you go, 3-4 leg day. Now repeat this cycle for X days, and arrive in base on the last day. Very similar to what SWA does. But for a whole lot less pay and very weak work rules. Practically zero hotel language. Windfall for management and the shareholders.

It definitely needs to be addressed in the next contract. And we need to watch out for them screwing us on the min day credit. Whatever you set it at, that's what the average day length will be. Lock in a pattern, and everyone stays at min guarantee.

I know, more rainbows and sunshine, but somebody's got to be realistic around here. Too bad the union is MIA.
