Seems like this is related to our relatively weak daily min of 5 hours averaged across the whole trip, instead of a simple min day pay of 5 for each day. Our current rig means that to get better than a 20 hour 4 day requires working pretty hard every day.
Any other input?
When I was a commuter I used to bid credit per day to get productivity. At 50% it should be pretty easy to do. I think the 90 hr lines are from the company upping Line Production Averages to force more onto reserve. I have been an on again/off again lineholder as EWR 737 CA. At 78% even with not submitting a reserve bid and my final bid group being waive everything, award work I still got reserve in March. That’s amazing to me considering in march I was only off the g line by like 10 numbers. Back to a line in April, however.
