AirWillie,

Correct, sort of. The prior contract was 10 days off minimum for line holders and 8 days off minimum for reserves. This was on a 13 month cycle which if you equate it to a 12 month calendar it becomes approximately 11 days off per month for line holders and 9 days off reserves.

The latest contract (which I personally voted against due to weak language and is amendable this year) finally got 11 days off for both line holders and reserve on a 12 month calendar, block or better, line guarantee, increased min guarantee (75.8 hrs), and still has industry leading scope language preventing MAG from flying any aircraft anywhere under any certificate with nothing other than ALPA pilots.

Good Luck on your end...
