I've never met an airline pilot that says "I wish we didn't have trip and duty rigs - they suck"

I've never met an airline pilot that says "I wish we didn't have a min-day - it sucks."

DoJetDriver:

Most of these regional airlines operate on a "cost plus" type of Aircraft Service Agreement.

And besides, don't you think it's only "FAIR" to have atleast a 12 day off schedule?

Here's an example, our current contract allows you to do Five 4-day trips per month. FIVE of 'em!!

FIVE 4 DAY TRIPS / MONTH = SLAVERY

Rigs (and other workrules) are good.

"Good" airlines have rigs.

Bad airlines don't.

The Prime Minister has spoken.

AMEN!
