also hate front/back loading trips, 3 or 4 legs on either the first or last day with only 1 leg on every other day. Would be nice if it were more evenly spread.
if scheduling is gonna try to increase the flying regardless I agree better rig to increase the payout of some inefficient trips would be nice
I think a tighter TAFB rig is the best way to keep them from front and back loading trips. If they want to add flying to day 1 or the last day, the TAFB gets longer and so does the pay, above and beyond the 5 hour Average Daily Guarantee.
Just adding a min day, would raise pay, but would probably exacerbate the problem of adding flying to the first and last day, as why pay you the "min day" to fly one leg?
