Next month at envoy I have a 13 hour 4 day. After that, is an 11 hour 4 day. All with min days off and 2 days off between 4 day trips, so I can barely squeeze past min guarantee .

You have got to be kidding me. An 11 hour 4 day? That is unconscionable. I'm on a 12-hr 2 day right now....

I agree, it's bull****. Every time I think "schedules can't get any worse than this" they prove me wrong. It's no wonder morale on the line is in the crapper, given how much time is taken away from families.

I had a 4 day that was blocked at 27 and credited for 38 with 9E. Had to deadhead to a different base to start the trip so that helped build the credit

4 out of 5 4-day trips for me next month have a lost day. That's four days of sitting at an out station doing nothing but collecting $1.85/hr perform with my thumb up my a**. The schedules at envoy are abysmal. It's amazing to me that management hasn't realized that they could attract people to work at envoy simply by making more efficient schedules (higher line values/better trips, etc), yet AAG continues to shaft us on the flight file each month.

Not to mention envoy could probably accept another 7,500-10,000 block hours each month if it weren't for all the crews sitting at out stations on lost days.

OO pays 4:12 minimum for all days, including sits with no flying.

As do most airlines. 9E is 4 hour min day, no matter what
