Looks like a 20 hour 3 day to me after it sits in open time until it is x/y listed for premium pay.

We have those to EWR, currently paying 13:30, wonder what will happen after new rigs.

At Jetblue pre-contract, the Airbus open-time was always flooded with 10hr/3 days. Company built as many as they could. They usually went to reserves, unless you’re a lineholder that wants to credit 77 hours with 12 days off, but easy flying. Those trips encompassed probably about 50% of the open time for the Airbus in BOS and JFK. Spirit’s route structure is different so maybe it won’t be a big issue.

Yeah but the new rigs will help with this problem. Trips will either be commutable and lower credit or uncommutable and higher credit meaning you will have do work less days to credit the same. An uncommutable 4 day under the new rigs should pay at least 24-25 hours so you’d only need to do 3 of them which reduces the sting of commuting on days off a bit. Also with PBS you’ll be able to customize your line to your needs (assuming you have the seniority to hold it) which usually works out better for commuters than pre-built lines with half commutable trips that you have to go try and fix in IOT/DOT. I’m sitting about 50% and the lines I was getting with the PBS mock bids far exceed anything I’ve ever gotten here with traditional line bidding.

I guess we’ll see. I can’t imagine how it will be worse than the 14 day off 74 hour credit half commutable garbage lines I’m getting now at 50% seniority.

Cool, I don't no many Captains that spent much time doing the Bogus Bids. Not to burst your bubble of hope but you know it was BOGUS data loaded? The trips weren't real relative to our real system time table. Some trips were real but a lot of what you "bid" on was FAKE data loaded. Clearly very few went and checked to see if those trips actually were in our time table. I was given trips I'd love to have. Only problem we didn't fly the city pairs I was awarded at those times. It's a complete waste of time if you actually think you're getting anything near what you "bid" on. I guess we'll get to live the bidding train wreck very soon.
