If I go to work at 8am on day one, let's say the 24th, and work the same TAFB I'm off by 10am on the 26th...why should I get 4 calendar days for that? Don't get me wrong min calender day would have been awesome and really put the contract in the same league as the legacies, but it will just have to be a nice goal for the next contract.
Or they change the departure to midnight show and 11:59 release. Now you lost two "daily guarantees"
It should be duty and/or daily. 2 duty periods in one day, 2 guarantees. Red-eye spans 2 days but is one duty, 2 guarantees. So on.
