Or, perhaps...some of us are less enthusiastic because trip averaging is still in place and the long layover trigger moves from 22 to 24 hours. You could see 10 hour 3 days, or 20 hour 4-days....start late enough on day 1, and you could see 15 hour 4 days. :eek: And, they have an optimizer set to their specs, not ours. |

Show me an example of a 3 day worth 10 hours, I’m honestly curious how your math works to get this. I’m assuming you think you’ll have two duty periods and the TAFB will be less than 35 hours and it won’t have a “long overnight”. But any 3 day with only two duty periods should have a long overnight in there unless you end at like 2 am on the 3rd day, then it’s basically a late finishing 2 day and the later it finishes the more the 3.5 rig starts adding up. As for a 15 hour 4 day. That means your TAFB would have to be less than 52.5 hours and have 3 or less duty periods which would obviously add a long overnight into the equation. I can’t make the math work but I’m genuinely curious to see how you’re getting these numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 16 hour 4 day (15 hour 4 day would be nearly impossible to build) - Very late pm show (2300-2359), early am finish (before 0700 am) on day 4 (3 duty periods and one long layover but less than 24 hours). Not great trips but again the point is that at least they are very commutable. These will most likely go to junior line holding commuters with PBS. Less days off due to inefficiencies but 100% commutable. Most likely better than what junior line holders are currently getting with line bidding especially considering commutability. |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 11pm red-eye day 1 23 hours rest Early morning back to base ETA 8AM Currently would pay 13:30 (EWR turns) 15 hour 4 day would more likely be at least 16 hr because of the new rigs: 11 pm red-eye 20 hr rest Early east coast turn (BOS-BWI-BOS) 15 hour rest Early return to base arrive 7am TAFB 56 hrs, pay 16 hrs Personally would bid the 4 days, like starting late on day1. |

Fair enough, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they are going to be outliers and garbage trips. But you’re correct. With PBS you will be able to avoid or request these types of extremely commutable trips. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What kind of redeye are you doing where you can have 20 hours rest and do an early morning turn. Let’s say Vegas to Boston or LA to FLL are some of our longer ones. It’s blocked at what, 5 hours? You get in at 5 or 6 am. Add 20 hours to 6 am and it’s 2 am. I mean you guys are right. On paper you can make it work. But realistically with our schedule it doesn’t work.

If they changed the schedules they could build something like this:
11pm report LAS - BOS 11:45pm - 7:45am 22 hour overnight 5:45am report for BOS - LAS 6:30 - 9am TAFB is 34 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
