We had a standup on the Brasilia SFO-LMT that was a 10pm departure, 1.5 hour flight, then a 4:30am show time in the morning that only paid 4:50 credit. 3 hours block for 4:50 credit. If everything went absolutely perfect you'd still get less than 4 hours of sleep at the hotel due to the super late arrival and 4:30am show time.
Since it was SFO the flight was delayed at least 50% of the time so you could expect to fly 3 hours, get less than 4 hours of sleep, and only get paid 4:50 for it. That's an example of a bad standup.

A bad standup in general is one with a really bad block:credit ratio. Good standups are ones where you fly very short flights but have a lot of duty time. There was an ORD-MKE standup that was 1:30 block for 7:00 credit. Get paid 7 hours for flying 1.5

There used to be a SAT standup out of ATL. It blocked about 5:30, credited 6:00 and you were lucky to get 4:00 at the hotel. That was a bad standup.

what does an average 4-day block/credit at skywest? How about for the us air/american flying compared to delta and united trips?

"They'll announce anything to get people through the door."
Yep, sounds like every airline I have worked for so far.

AA deicing at ORD is in self destruct mode this winter. Most trips are crediting a lot because you spend an hour deicing or 40 minutes in the penalty box every leg.

I have a 45XXX emp number & have seen an average of 35 or so seniority number jump per month, with 8 of those in less than 7 days. Just curious about those with 27XXX-29XXXish emp numbers, what have you been seeing?

I only know because my relative distance to the most JR captain is exactly the same even though we both went down 8 numbers
