Pass on that. Maybe if we were compensated like SWA it might be more pallitable.
At SW, any reassignment on a trip getting in later than originally scheduled is paid at premium. Any subsequent days that are moved up (usually an earlier DH to meet up with original trip) is paid at premium for entire day.

Enjoy. We don’t have the stones to hang in long enough to earn that.

Everyone’s suffering from shiny check syndrome.

Not sure about the rest but looks to be pretty standard in the industry
SW's is a little wacky but we get 6.5 TFP's per day...also averaged. So a 3 day pays 19.5 TFP'S minimum.

There is a huge difference between average min duty period and average calendar day. Apples and oranges.

Key word being “average”! The OP was upset about that...but please enlighten us on the difference!

Sorry for the poor formatting, but here’s a good example from the Denver bid package in January. This is a 3 day trip with 2 duty periods. Assuming the same average 5 hours for both duty and calendar day, the average duty period guarantees 10 hours minimum for the trip while the average calendar day guarantees 15.

Even with our new trip rig this trip will only pay 13 hours vs 15 if we’d gotten minimum duty and not average. Under Spirit’s contract this trip pays 13.5 hours as well because the 29 hour overnight creates a virtual duty in the average calculation. We don’t have that.

Personally I would have liked to see either average min day or a hard min duty. Average min duty is not very useful for us and will cost the company very little. I hope we didn’t give anything significant up to get it.

You only get a few chances in your career to get your contracts right.
This isn’t it.

Well at least we retained our ability to split trips. Drop the DFW overnight like everybody else!

The Vegas pairings will see a huge improvement with the new language. Some gaining as much as 4 hours of credit.

This 4 day gem in Orlando only gains 1 hour due to the better rig. No way to split this one.

This will pay 15 hours at Spirit once PBS is implemented.
