Here's how I think the math works, based on a trip of the following credit:

Day 1: 7.5 hours
Day 2: 6.5 hours
Day 3: Standover Day
Day 4: 6 hours

Current Book: This trip pays 20 hours. We have a 5 hour average credit per day, average being the operative word. It's not coincidental the other 3 days on a 4 day almost always work out to about 20 hours. That way the day off is free to them.

New Book: This trip would pay 21 hours with the 5:15 average credit per day, except that it has a Standover day which now takes on a value of 2:30, making the actual trip credit 22:30 (20 credit for days 1,2, and 4 plus 2:30 for day 3).

​​The whole notion of an average credit per day is asinine and I'm disappointed we couldn't get rid of that. It's not how it works at many other airlines. If you're away at work, a day should have a minimum value, independent of other days.

This is a good step towards paying us what we are worth, and sets the stage for future improvements. It was shocking coming here from my regional which had a hard 4:12 min day. Show up at work, get paid no less than 4:12. The above trip would pay 24:12 at my old regional.
