So, how much better or worse are they after ACD is implemented? I missed that memo. I did see speculation but that's all is was, nothing definite.
I’ll give you one absolute fact right from the Director of Manpower Plannings (CM) mouth on a recent pilot conference call. “We will have a significant number of 5 day trips. Anywhere from 10% to 20%. The percentage will vary month to month and category to category.” |

Obviously MCD is superior to ACD. But ACD is better than what we had before.

I like 3 day trips. |

Don't we want industry leading, not industry compliant?
Of course we do. But with our limited leverage from the Christmas issue ACD was a significant gain. |
Considering AA margin is horrible, there is a huge probability that when the next recession hits in 2019/20 AA will declare bankruptcy again. This whole thing is kinda moot.

Earlier you stated that 3 day slash trips paying 11 hours were statistically insignificant since they represented only 10%+- of all trips. So you shouldn’t be worried about the 5 day trips. You already stated 10% is irrelevant. But now that undesirable trip will at least average 5:15 per calendar day instead of 3:30. Using your own logic this is a win. The junior guys will get the 5 day trips (least desirable 10% of pairings) instead of the 3 day slash trips and they will hit 80 hours of credit in 15 days instead of 20. |

If we go from 10% red-eye pairings to 20% 5-days that's over 4 times as much flying contained within 5-day trips as their was in red-eyes! It's like the Pro-APA Pro-Carey camp not only doesn't understand what's in other airline contracts but doesn't understand basic scheduling math as well. |
I’m sorry that makes no sense. I think you have been infected by the CLT frear uncertainty and doubt
