I’m assuming that’s the 3.5 duty rig kicking in, so it pay a little more than just 10hr. Bleh. Nothing like starting work one day at 11pm body clock, just to flip it around to 5am body clock. Min daily wouldn’t make that feel any better, but at least the credit would be higher so maybe you don’t get stuck with as much of that flying.
But think of the commutability!
Ya I just with they would turn those into true three days. Of course some have and they are brutal. LAS-PHL redeye, PHL-DEN-PHL redeye turn, PHL-LAS. 19 credit but you’re dead.
I’m sure if we went to MDG they would just rework the trips to more of the example above. I’m not so sure it would be as helpful as we assume. That or push the redeye to start at 12:01 instead of 11:37 or whatever.
