Curious as to why an ULCC model would cause 5 day trips? The ULCC model doesn't have much bearing on the guys sitting up front, it just brings in gobs and gobs of cash for the company (and hopefully for the pilots in the next contract).
I also wouldnt credit being an ULCC with 4-5 days off between pairings either. I typically roll between 17-19 days off per month.

I just hope it doesn't last.

My next 4 day is 3,3,3,2... still only pays 22 hours which is considered a "score" right now. sigh... Eventually we will get more and more legs I am sure. That is the ULCC model. Same bag fee applies for a 2h leg vs a 1h leg. More cities, more legs. I am not looking forward to that.

Just so everyone is aware, This year I'll make 77.xx as a THIRD year F/O, come JAN, a JB F/O will be at $100 third year, DAL $117. It's bullcrap and we need our rates to come way up.........WAY UP.
That's all. Now time to get ready to watch the G-Men pound the SH-tty Eagles
