The 18 hour 3 days will be gone and you’ll get more 21 hour 4 days.

We own some good trip mix language that secures a % of each pairing length, but supposedly the company would want to adjust those if we get the >10 hour duty 1:1 pay.

For everyone who says wow this 13 hour duty day would pay X much now!! Well, the trip would probably not exist that way with the 1:1 >10 hours.

Anyway, that doesn’t account for maintenance or weather delays. You could almost bank on flying lower time and getting paid the same.
