It also has 3 pilots on board. So for 9 hours of block, each crewmember gets 2+ hours of rest during the trip. How is that compared with EWR-ANC in the dead of winter with 2 on board? Or how about the IND-ONT 3 hour wait and ONT-IND, which is scheduled at 7:50 of block with a drool in between? Like I said, there are a bunch of trips that completely stink which aren't disputed.

How about this pair:
#208 and 276These pairings are of the ‘slingshot’ design. We have agreed with the company that a reset should be given within one duty period on either side of the turnaround point. We disagree with the company’s position that a reset in CDG resets the starting point from which the slingshot point is determined.


50+ hours of layover in CDG and that's not enough???? But there's no problem with a week of am hubturning????

I'm not saying I don't support the SIG, but it looks like the some of these disputes are off base. Maybe I'm wrong, but look at what's left in open time, only the stuff that nobody wants to fly.
