Trying to make facts go away by yelling CONSPIRACY is a tried and true response from nearly every ALPA apologist here. Along with "black helicopters", "tin foil hats", etc... You might be new dude, but the tactics are old.

Contract question: If the ADG were to be raised to 6 hours (like FedEx) is there an unintended consequence that we might be getting into? Example, if each day on duty must essentially be worth 6 hours, what would prevent the trip constructions to actually BE 6+ hours of block each day? It wouldn't affect the 757s and up so much, but the small narrowgauge airplanes might find their rotations becoming more fatiguing. DAL abhors credit time, and just because we will have to be paid 6 hours could actually mean tht we will have higher block days. It would be OK for awhile, but I think it wouldn't take long for the fatigue level to rise substantially. What do ya'll think?

Yeah don't get me wrong, I'd like to see it raised too. I just wondered if it could result in more fatiguing trips. We all want more productive trips, but working harder (more productive) ALL the time might be detrimental to that fatigue level over time.

If everyone is flying 6+ hours per day instead of 5:15, they won't need as many pilots to cover all the flying.
Be careful what you ask for.
