Day 4: Block 3, credit 5
Trip Total Block = 20, Trip Total credit = 25
ADG
Day 1: Block 2
Day 2: Block 7
Day 3: Block 8
Day 4: Block 3
Trip Total Block = 20, daily average = 20/4 = 5. So the same trip meets the 5 hour ADG daily average as is, with no soft pay.
So ADG pays 5 hours less in this perfectly realistic (and likley commutable) example.
Unless I’m missing something, it seems like as far as a pilot is concerned, Minimum Calendar Day would be more advantageous than an Average Daily Credit. What are the reasons the Union proposes ADG?
