He said the goal was to get every pilot to work 1-2 more days per month, which ABSOLUTELY happened. Multiply that by a year. Yup almost a month more work for the same credit. You know that and are just being disengenuois.
easy 5 day trips worth 29-31 hours.
there is NO WAY ADG is better. NONE. Selling anything other that that convinces me what side you’re on.
take it easy. If you read My post I was advocating for a min day, just pointing out the pitfalls of a 5:15 min day vs a 4 Because of how the optimizer works.
iirc the min day at NWA was 4:15 (4.25) which kinda makes my point. A 4ish hour MDG coupled with a 5:15 (or preferably 5:30) ADG would be a solid mix.
also pre BK NWA and DL did not have access to the current optimizer which will squeeze every drop of credit it can from us.
