4:1 would mean for every 4 hours away from base you get a minimum of 1 hour of pay unless your block is greater. So if your TAFB on a 4 day trip is 80 hours then you’ll get paid a minimum of 20 hours.

Something like that or if we could have a min day of 4 or even 4.5 with no carve outs, and 100% DH pay like almost everyone else would be awesome. Those last two items alone would give me an extra 3-4 hours a month even if nothing else changed. Not to mention scheduling might not want to have all the reserves DH to other bases so much if the 100% DH pay counted towards your 75 hour guarantee.

It might be too late since it was essentially deleted in LOA12 but I would like to see critical or something similar added back for when attrition starts to pick up and we’re not so fat on pilots. Maybe even 200% since that’s industry standard now. Just back in 2017 (even after the arbitration) it was pretty easy to pick up critical trips. We’ll be back to those staffing levels eventually.
