People need to realize this before asking for higher ADG in the next survey. Before 5:15 ADG was a thing, penalty laps were less common, and you could have that 2 hour block day and be done with it. Now, if you have 1 leg home that leaves you a couple hours under ADG, you best believe the company is going to use you for that penalty lap. Why wouldn't they? Increasing ADG will just give them more room to do this. Higher credit per day is out there if you want it, but be careful what you wish for...higher ADG isn't free money.
