The long sits are heinous and suck the life out of you. I wrote my reps that we need some kind of sit pay. I believe AAL has something like this. 1 for 2 over 2 hours. Sit for 3 hours get a hard 30 minutes over rotation guarantee. Sit for 4 hours get 1 hour. This would disincentive long sits and hopefully make them a rare exception.

This would also make it a lot harder for the company to work around the trip rig as they currently do with 8 + block hour days mixed in with minimal or even no flying days.
