Default Schedules, rig, min day

How are the schedules these days and how has the new rig and min day impacted schedules?

13-18 days off. Unless you are senior enough for 11 day trips. Block ranging from 50-95. Most lines credit 85-95. New rig has increased days off slightly, and credit by a decent amount. I’d say Junior lines have a few turns, 2-4 days, with some red eyes thrown in occasionally.

I’ve heard average line value nearly 91 hours. Yikes. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

That's the credit. Some of 95 hour lines have <50 hours of block time. A few of the more efficient ones have over 90, but those tend to be senior turn lines. Don't be discouraged by high credit, you want all the credit you can get.

I’m aware. What I’m saying is I would rather have more days off and 70-75 hours credit and decide for myself if I want to work extra.

Sure, but March is our peak month so max allowable credit lines are to be expected. Under the old contract you'd still have 95 hours, it would just come with 10 days off instead.

My source told me it’s been high 80’s low 90’s for the last year at least. Maybe they’re wrong but seems like that’s a lot. Especially for commuters.

You’re not understanding what they are saying. With the new rigs you’re getting high credit lines with more days off. That’s a good thing…

No I understand that. As a commuter I want maximum days off and 70-75 hours of credit. 90 hour credit lines means I’d be working an extra 4 days (assuming 5 credit hour min days).

Sure, I would too, and lack of days off is one area in which Sunny is lacking compared to our peers. I think the point was just that the new contract helped with this, it didn't hurt. The lack of time off is due to just how busy we are/staffing, it is a problem in spite of the new contract, not because of it.
