PDX has 8-hour locals on ERJ, no other high credit trips though.

I'm pretty sure it's not SLC. And if it were they'd only have a very small number of them.

I think it's pretty rare to have any trip credit on average more than 7 hours a day in SLC.

They had to do that in order to get the flight attendants to work more. The pilots are already doing it whether they like it or not. They'll just hold your attendance records, that they'll share with Delta, over your head if you try to work less. And it's working.

Why do they not just assign FAs with 90 credit hours as with pilots? What is the difference there?

It takes three weeks to train a flight attendant with absolutely 0 experience. Unlimited supply of FAs off the street. No shortage there. Have you seen how easy it is for FAs to drop trips?

Why pay overtime when you can pay someone else straight pay?

Yeah but have you seen their opentime? Tons of stuff to pickup.

Anything above 84 is premium for them. Whether they pick it up or are awarded. Most FAs I fly with work 110-120 a month.

We need that.

You really think we are going to get that when SAPA got us a whopping 1% the last package?
