You can’t make a schedule of 5 hour min days(20 hour 4 days) and complete an entire summer month, with the typically higher bid divisor.
Well just looking at the FLL CA open time all the 4 days are 20 hours almost exactly and one is 21 hours. And then a bunch of 4 days with 15-16 hours sooo... yea about that.

Let this be the only time we agree so completely!

I would guess 90% of the NK 4 days are 20hrs or less...... 🙄

Typical ALV is between 73-79 hours, so 20hr 4days work fine...

I’ll take a 4 leg 4 day at 20 hours before a 27 block 4 day

Now that I re read that I thought he said 20 hour 4 day not a 4 leg 1 day at 20 hours. When the hell does a 20 hour 1 day come along?

What a confusing statement. Point is I would rather take a 27 hour 4 day vs a 20 hour 4 day regardless of how many legs. With that math that's an extra 3 days at work to make up the difference. No thanks.

How would it take 3 days to make 7 hours????? It really doesn't. At least not for me. Most of our 20 hour 4 days are easily commutable on both sides. Most of our 27 hour 4 days aren't commutable on either. It is almost 2 full days extra for 7 hours of pay extra. I would be gone 18 days for 81 hours, or 16 days for 80 hours. And that includes having to commute 1 less time with the higher credit trip.
