By that argument, United and Delta don't have commutable trips. Neither did America West (who was their CEO?).

I bid trips with one short leg either the first of last day. The company will tack on another turn on those days. I'm all for min day. The company will get their time out of you though.

You're missing the point. We already have a min day when the trip has the same amount of duty periods as calendar days. I finished a 4 day, 4 duty period trip today where on day 4 we only did one 2 hour leg with a release at 10am.

By your logic all those type trips would have extra flying in them.

I got you. I'm talking about the two duty three day.

Those for sure will change. There will still have to be some, however for weird scenarios where. They don't have flights every day sometimes. In DFW there is a two leg four day to Quito worth only 17 hours right now.

5 day block of reserve days, call you on day 1 and you would pick a 3 day redeye on day 2, finish day 4 at 6am and couldn't be contacted until day 4 at 6pm with another 12 hour callout. So basically do one of those a week. Those were the good days
And some weeks go without working at all...my record was 23 days in a row...

Whers's all the no float premium? 7 months in, 0 calls (and on the list almost every off day).

Commutable or not, 11 hour 3 days have to go.

I think min calendar day is finally right around the corner.
