Nope. All of your available days have a value associated with them that drives your MPG - been that way forever.

Better doctors and services in bum-F then in SFO or LAX? Man, I’ve been doing healthcare all wrong it seems…

Specialist availability blows. I waited a year for a PCP appointment in Chicago with a decent doctor. You can get some rando instantly but the waitlist for the good doctors was pretty long at least a year or two ago. Could be the have long established relationships with decent providers that would take months if not years to get into if they moved.

Watching from the cheap seats over at Delta. Congrats on the TA. Hope the work rules and the soft money stuff are also acceptable to you guys as well.

Being that you’re a pilot the chances are you’ve been doing health care all wrong… but I digress..

Yeah, there are plenty of places where better care is available outside of major cities that serve as airline hubs…

^^^ This. Hats off to Garth for not allowing us to get steamrolled, but it was Delta that gave us most of our gains. It’s kind of embarrassing.

Unfortunately some of these traitors survived the purge. CC over at Tk for instance, and then you’ve got some toddler jihadists like Goosey who even when they’ve had their noses rubbed in the pile of dung they produced, continue to be true believers in Toddlerism.

I hear Oceangate is looking for some new yes men to restart Titanic tours in an improved plastic and balsa wood submersible. The toddler clan have the perfect mix of arrogance, ignorance and rabid partisanship to make it happen!

Anyone who still supports Todd or the Tumi TA is a pathological moron.

and that’s not what this 2:30 is referencing. This would be part of your LPV for a trip’s pay. It discourages front and backloading the flying and throwing in a long layover where you don’t fly for a day, abusing average calendar day rules to not have to pay you extra. So now you’d get an extra 2:30 for that day in the middle with no flying.
