The only change is that back side of the clock flying (if your duty period touches 0230-0459) has a duty rig of 1.5:1
So, a ten hour duty night will pay 7.5 hours vs the 6.4 trip rig under the current agreement. If you did five nights in a row, that's 5.5 hours extra credit. What I'm trying to figure out is, if a normal line of night flying used to be worth 75 hours, now that line is going to be 86 hours, which is right at the domestic construction cap. .
Be very careful.............we thought we were getting an OK deal as far as work rules went last time................We got snookered.
When we began the Postal flying (almost all day stuff) our system form changed........we now have many trips (Domestically) that use to be pure Night....so you could stay on the same Body clock schedule.
To sum it up...........many (not all) of our trips have day-night-day-night type swaps.......really hard on hte body. Some of our trips begin at 0200 and fly until 11:45 am looking into the sun for the last 3 1/2 HOURS........OUCH!!
We also have what we call trip rig wash out............where you might night actually get credit for that 7:45 block hour day. The hard time gets washed out in the trip rig so you really only make 6 hours for that duty period when you actually blocked more.
