Average Calendar Day done deal
Buzz,
The all night turns are one duty period, and the AIP specifically states that we are going away from duty periods to ‘days’ in consideration to pay. These days are from 0200-0159, so therefore any duty period that spans these days are paid an average of 5:15. So the DFW-LAS turn that duties in at 2250 and ends at 0515 now pays 10:30 per the AIP. The company won’t do that, so I am speculating that they will incorporate these sequences in trips that are longer than two days.
Also, other trips (WB rockets from MIA/DFW to SA specifically that pay 11 to 14 hours will now all pay 15:45 and LAX/PHX - Hawaii) will see better pay for the duty. These are also two duty periods but barely span three ‘days’ per the AIP (day one 2250 duty in with a return of 0600 day three in the South American rockets example).
Hope these examples help.
