I was also a PTO sellback guy. I’ve never taken an actual “vacation” at JB, that will be nice.

That said, there are some wins and losses with this contract and what works for 1 may not work fit someone else.
With the trips I bid, I’m not able to take advantage of it. My go to weekly trip is a 19 hour 3 day that ends late day 3. Because of delays, overblock, etc... it’s usually a 20 hour trip. It’s delayed multiple times past 0045. Not one of extra penny due to the ADG.... 🤦🏻*♂️

DOH!

I think the ADG advantaged redeyes that can be stacked is a huge advantage. Horrible for you, and will likely take years off your life, but a great way to make money.

Just curious what your preferred trip type is? Does the ADG benefit those of us who prefer shorter duration trips?

My favorite way to make money is to sit on RSV and not get called. Makes my hourly rate go up and up!

15hr 3 days stacked with another 15hr 3 day.


If I was living in base, my favorite trip would be to sit at home and relax!

I do mostly day trips on the 190. ORD, CLT, SAV, JAX, EWR all get in around 11pm-midnight. There’s also a JFK two day that finishes in BOS around 00:40am. So it doesn’t take much to get that extra ADG. Yes the shorter the trip, the more chances you’ll get.

I did that for about 4 years. Did about 150-180 hours a year, dequal’d on landings, it was awesome. 4 days of LC followed by REL sometimes for a perfect week. About 2 years ago that all came crashing down with the staffing issues (in FLL FO at least).

Glad it’s working for you still!
