I don't think you even need to do that. UAL's contract allows NB trips to be 4-days in length, maximum. And they have EDP over 10 hours...so if anything, it seems like EDP eliminates 5-day trips?

cuz calling out sick for them would explode your sick bank

A simple analysis of our trip length vs DAL/UAL will prove or disprove their point. I wonder why we haven't seen anything like that?

Statistics I saw had Delta at 3x-4x the number of 5-day trips than us IIRC for example.

But United doesn't even have NB 5-day trip so APA's reasoning is nullified.

I don't think they are saying it will be more days just longer trips. Reference my post about making the regional legs 2 trips. The point about the sits is true too, get rid of those and the days become much more bearable.

Both the NC Chair and my base Vice Chair told me "you will work more days per month with this RIG..." So - proves to all they don't know what they're talking about and just give false assumptions to avoid the subject.

5x day trips at DL are a NWA holdover

OK I have to apologize. United has a screener anyone can view. I randomly chose domiciles and equipment. Yes our trips absolutely blow compared to them.

Does UA not do short block flights or something? I couldn't find anything like that in their schedules.
