..yes,,,i've seen that starting in jan 2008...it is reduced from ten to eight...an improvement...but not true trip rig washout prtection....let's take for example...the first and last duty days of a week long trip...min pay per duty period...is three hours..but put into a week long trip..is is tafb....or maybe one and ahalf hours in actuality...now...if one flies 5 hours in that first duty day/period...he should have received that 5 hours credit...either as in a duty day...or duty period...even with this 8 hours improvement...all the domestic half days are left unprotected...does anyone see where this is addressed?...
