A big juicy notabuger and flies.

And all that “extra time” paid at straight, not premium rates. But that was the junior airplane and they were just happy to be captain or happy to be here. I’ m sure they all would have gladly volunteered anyway.

This would only work in the SLC base.

Definitely not cost effective.

I got to say this optimizer is full of B.S. Unusually I have a line this month, but being on the road for 14 days only gets me to 70 hours! The reduction in credit is making our jobs impossible to live on, we better start asking for $100 an hour across the board pay raise!!!

Read the last sentence a few times and I think you'll re-evaluate.

you guys are like my wife...I stand corrected it is 72.07 hrs, and the 14th day ends before 2.am. block in...so I dont get the extra time for the 14th day. Across all 4 trips that are 3 days or longer each has .39hrs of credit per rotation. Take a look at Octobers 66 letter about 320 credit. 29% rotation credit down to 9 percent now, in just 2 years. While we're at it, according to 66 monthly letter commutability down from 97% to 6%. Bottom line, having to be on the road for 16 17 or 18 days to make the same level of money that 2 years ago was doable in 11 to 14 days is a significant degradation to quality of life and enjoy ability of the job.
