The remaining 10 hour 3 days will pay 15 and raise the average credit value. Since it does NOT raise actual block, it does not require more bodies to fly since it does not push any 117 times. The company will raise the ALV for bidding purposes since the average CREDIT per trip will be higher. Again, since ADG does not increase block times, no 117 issues and the TA let's the company set any ALV they want, as long as it's "smoothed".
There are some legitimate gripes with this thing but I wish some of you guys would at least read the language before coming on here and making statements like you know what you're talking about. From the TA:
25.I. Bidding Parameters
1. Average Line Value (ALV)
The ALV is the number of credit hours established by the Company that is the projected average of all Lineholder PBS awards, for a Status (e.g., A320/321 Captain, E190 F/O), for a Bid Period.
The ALV shall be between seventy-four (74:00) and eighty-six (86:00) hours (inclusive) and may be expressed in hours and minutes.
2. Targeted Line Value (TLV)
The TLV is a twelve (12) Bid Period rolling average of the ALV for a Status.
The TLV shall be between seventy-seven (77:00) and eighty-four and one half (84:30) hours (inclusive).
