no, and I would like to keep it that way. We get paid per duty period. You know, paid when you work…. But that is not the main reason. Where I am based most are commuters. And having trip that have both late starts and early finish is helpful with that. I can, for the life of me, not understand people that get into a job that is 24/7 and complain about working weekends. If you want to work calendar week day, go to the post office. So, stop thinking about calendar days. Think about the hours you spend at home.
we have a lot of trips that start at 11pm, one leg, 22 hour rest, one leg back, home at 8am. Most people hate them because 3 day pays 10 hours. I would do those all the time if I lived in base, because I would be home 5 days a week.
We get the industry standard 3.5 duty rig, 5 hours per duty period, and an extra duty paid for every layover over 24 hours.
most of my 4 day trips are 68 TAFB, 14 hour duty, 12 block, 20 credit, 3 duty, 4 legs. Let me know when your ADG would improve on those.
