This is trip averaging. It is industry standard though. Delta, united, and Jetblue all have it I know for sure. They do average per calendar day not duty period like we do which is better in most cases and the average is between 5:00-5:15 not 4:30 like us.
I think FedEx is 6hrs min calendar day and no average. Fly a two day with 7hrs day one and 1hr day two you get 7+6

Reading the contract, if 1 day of duty on the next bid is scheduled during the transition, the day(s) are released and pay protected, correct? I'm on reserve next month in FLL and I have a few of them. Thanks!

Not enough information on what your transition period looks like?

Sorry, Chief. I've been taking the restrictor plate off of the panty dropper all morning. Ain't fit to fly. You can thank Mr. Pabst for that. Nice chat, bye.

Good news is this means the company has resorted to bully tactics to cover flights, bad news is pilots are falling for it.

The conflict resolution can be no longer than 6 calendar days, so string the two months together in a line. Start covering days to make a max of 6 days on; any combination is possible. IOW, they could drop the entire days on in the current month, they could drop the R days in the new month, or they could go 3/3, 4/2, etc. (depending on when your current month trips fly through your base).

There are nice examples in the contract...read it. Read the entire section while you are at it.
