with ADG you would be guaranteed an average of 5:15 per calendar day in this example you block 18 but the average of 5:15 would be 21 so the trip would pay 21 hours
with MDG you would get 5:15 minimum for each day. Since day 2 and 3 were below this, their credit would be 5:15 while still getting 7 and 6 hours pay for day 1 and 4. In this example the trip would pay 23.5 hours (7+ 5.25+ 5.25+ 6)*
*5:15=5.25
So the argument against MDG is that the company would be even more sensitive to low/no block hour days?
