I know Endeavor, and also Republic if I’m not mistaken, pays 150% and 200% for overtime pay compared to our 125% and 150%. Plus they have a min day with no carve outs of 4 or 4.25 hours a day compared to our 3.5 which only applies if you start before noon on day 1 and/or end after 5:00 on the last day. Plus 100% DH pay compared to our 50%.

If we had a min day of 4 hours with no carve outs and 100% DH that would give me an extra 4-7 hours per month with the same schedules we have now.

And it’s not just Endeavor and Republic. Someone posted a screenshot of Mesa’s (Mesa for crying out loud) opentime on processing a month or so ago. Almost every 4 day trip was over 20 hours. 3 days were over 15 hours. That was their OPEN TIME. If that was their open time what kind of credit are guys actually flying with their awarded schedules?
