Odd, but some of your F9 info may be a little inaccurate or out of date. You’ve got us on duty rig and the 13th day off for long months. As far as 4 in a row goes, I’m assuming your junior lineholders have to waive that pretty consistently in order to get enough credit on their schedules to get a line? I don’t think the reserve callout is an apples to apples comparison but yours does sound a little more flexible on paper. In practice I don’t there’s much of a difference. Long calls at F9 are auto-released at 10am on their last day but short call have to call to get released early. Our RAPs are 10.5 hours long for the daytime shifts and 7 for the evening shifts. DH pay is 100% unless forced into a middle seat then it’s 150%. Vacation pays 5 hours per day with some flexibility on moving credit between weeks of vacation. The 125% pay over 82 hours seems to be very popular at F9 as well. You’ve definitely got us on LTD although we had a slight improvement to that recently but still not industry standard.
