Yup exactly. Even a 4 hour min day would only be a 16 hour 4 day, which is still crap.
But with duty rigs, those long 12 hour duty days where you only operate 2 flights with 4 hours sitting at airports would pay 6 hours instead of the current 3.5. At least you’d be paid to sit around on fake hot reserve.
