I'm a 190 guy who rarely sees more than 5hours average daily credit on my trips. Yet I do see 4 legs a day spread over max duty day minus 1 hour. My trips frequently break.

It does not matter how long the sits are, the legs are too many and the duty day length is too long.

There is a very good way to build trips that almost always survive almost all types of weather except the worst of the irops:

LESS LEGS PER DAY.

MUCH SHORTER DUTY DAY LENGTH.

The credit doesn't matter because it can't go below 5, and it sure as hell isn't going above 5, so who cares?

I’m not on VDA. They just call and hope that I help. 2 calls today. 0300 and 0730. Im at Mathnasium with my girls and next stop Yale for a swim meet.

Check the RSV grid in the Daily brief today -7 E190 BOS CA RSV. 12 that’s right 12 open trips. We are severely understaffed in that seat. Let’s see what comes out of the System Bid. I bet it won’t reflect the underlying need.

I haven’t received a VDA call since last year. I was getting 2-3 calls a month until the new year.

Unfortunately no. Penicillin will not fix a ruptured Achilles’ tendon.

I wish there was a ineptitude shot. We could probably all benefit from it.
