https://www.usinflationcalculator.co...-1913-to-2008/ the far right column on this page shows inflation by year, only 2 times from 2007-2020 was it above 3%. So HOW MUCH inflation is taking from us right new is definitely a new problem. |
Can somebody please explain to me - perhaps with sock puppets and catchy songs - the pros and cons of ADG vs MDC? The MDC people are very passionate and I do not understand. One side is all “something something, it worked really great at my regional” and the other side is “something, something our rotations and/or commutability will be even worse.”

day 1 -3 legs, 7 hours block day 2 -2 legs, 5 hour of block day 3 - 30 hour overnight day 4 - 3 legs, 6 hours of block with ADG you would be guaranteed an average of 5:15 per calendar day in this example you block 18 but the average of 5:15x4 would be 21 so the trip would pay 21 hours with MDG you would get 5:15 minimum for each day. Since day 2 and 3 were below this, their credit would be 5:15 while still getting 7 and 6 hours pay for day 1 and 4. In this example the trip would pay 23.5 hours (7+ 5.25+ 5.25+ 6)* *5:15=5.25 |

As far as the crew meals go. What if we did it like the other airlines do it where gasp! You actually got to choose your meal before the flight? You get to pick from the selection of meals offered to FC on that route and an extra one is put on for you. Ordering for food when your schedule is out, for reserves you have a list of options you want ranked and then catering puts the meal on the aircraft specfor you. The other major airlines have figured this out its just our air line hasn't..

So the argument against MDG is that the company would be even more sensitive to low/no block hour days?
Upside, you fill up on ALV or reserve quicker because you get crushed your work days. |

Staffing has hit critical mass. Delta will make it rain. Although temporary, just look at what they unilaterally gave the FAs
