There's an LAX trip on the trade board that has a 30+ hour layover in Minot. I'd say the majority of the trips are up and down the west coast. There's a fair share that are starting to out east some in the middle. We start Fairbanks, AK in September. I've heard initially it's going to be an out and back but not sure how that will work out. It's something like a 9pm show time, a 90 min turn in FAI, then a 2am dept back to SEA.

It is cheapest for the company to do it that way now. With the ADTG it would have paid a minimum of 9:30 hours for the turn since it was over two calendar days. Not it will pay a minimum of the block time of around 7:30 hours. If a crew layovers in FAI for MX or another reason, they can get a minimum of 8:00 hours, since there will not be a calendar day, with no duty, that triggers the 4:00 hours of add pay. The trip would operate over 3 calendar days, but the 2 duty periods operate on all 3 of them. With the ADTG, that would have paid a minimum of 14:15.

Now queue all the ADTG haters

On another point, people will have to make sure they are on top of their body clocks on this one. If it is a turn, there is no 3:00 hour minimum at a hotel that a Split Duty provides.

If I can't hold it, then folks in initial training can't either...

At least for now...
