4 day trips have been trending way for block vs TAFB over the last year, no doubt. As we grow, we will fly more legs a day so block will be the predominant pay, not TAFB
Just look at the schedules now and see how many more 3-5 leg days there were than before. And that will then result in more short overnights. Even with the 18 hour trigger this contract, I’ve noticed my short stay overnights exceeding long stay. Basically they are working us more and will continue as we add dots.
Hopefully at least the day trips will pay higher credit with increased utilization. But I’m expecting 3-4 leg days with that. LAS guys will get punished with that west coast hop crap.
