Can someone convert a TFP into the equivalent of an hour.
Tried searching but I ran out of time.
Trying to figure out what a typical 3 day trip pays at SWA as compared to AA.
For some reason AA is hesitant to make many trips that pay more than 16 hrs on a 3 day and that is usually coupled with a short overnight.
Trying to figure apples and oranges for a point of reference.
Thanks.

Generally accepted conversion is 1 hour = 1.149 TFP.
Our 3 day trip min guarantee pays 19.5 TFP which comes out to be 16.97 hours, basically 6.5 TFP per day. Most 3 days are in the 20-22 TFP range these days

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
As far as narrowbody schedules at AA, there’s no comparison to SWA. SWA is far more productive.
As compared to the 737 or 320 at UAL, DAL, or AA, a pilot at SWA can probably work 2-3 less days to credit the same amount because our trips are so productive.

With many 24+ TFP. Nowadays it’s easy to swap into more productive trips. I’m even seeing many 4-days that are 34+ TFP.

Our operation is also a disaster which leads to many reroutes etc which create more pay for more pain. So there is that.
