I guess I don't understand because wouldn't the longtrip/widebody deal be the same for a narrow-body a/c where a pilot gets a monthly schedule and that pilot has vacation and is working 9 days for the month. Now that narrow body pilot picks up an additional 7 days of work out of open time and is then working the normal 16 days and getting paid around 100 hrs.
