Looking at AS lines it becomes very clear that there must not be many commuters ! Even if you get 13-15 days off, for a commuter those are more like 9-11 since I would have to come in the day before and leave the day after !
I'm surprised that the "college degree" educated Pilot group at AS is ok with that because even if you live in base that is total **** ! Just sayin...😉

We mostly go once a day to the midcon and east coast destinations. Couple that to very weak schedule language, no min day credit and low value east west flying and you get what we have. PBS will not help because we have nothing to build pairings out of....simple math

wait...did you say no min day credit? Tell me your joking...that's basic as basic gets.

There is a minimum AVERAGE of 5 hours per DUTY PERIOD. So 24/30 hour layovers can kill productivity.

The all nighters to the east coast touch 3 calandar days and pay around 11 hours.

Yes, that is what I said...As clarified by my bro. Kills productivity, kills pairing construction, kills commutability...We have voted yes for everything we have...keep that in mind!!

With the exception of the 5-hour average per duty period- That was given away to the Company, by Union leadership, prior to member ratification

But heck, the Alaska pilots probably would have voted it away anyway, just like everything else.

Yes we would have!

I think it'll happen in the next year or two.
