I’m fully aware the ADG system takes time from a high block day and pays it to a low block day to average it out over the trip (and I don’t like it either) but to say we have no minimum day is disingenuous. At the end of the trip we will not be paid less than 5:15/day, minimum, regardless of where it comes from - other days on the trip where we blocked more than 5:15, or credit for amount under 5:15.
If this is not how it works someone please explain it to me, or if someone can demonstrate how a trip can pay less than 5:15/day average I’m happy to learn.
minimum day has a meaning and what is in our contract does not meet that definition. If it did and our MDG was 5 hours, If I flew 7-5-0-6 hours on a 4 day it would pay 23 hours. Now it pays 21.
min day means the MINIMUM you will get paid for each day, not the average of all the days. Some airlines have a minimum day, we do not
