I'm just sayin....
We could help fix this by paying everyone a :30 min credit for each leg flown to cover time we spend on pre and post flight duties. This would benefit all, but the DC9 and Md88 pilots would see the biggest gain.
Or just go to a 6hr min day for every calendar day you are at work with an exception of 4hrs min if your last day ends prior to 10 AM.
