Work rules ? Min daily guarantee? Soft time?

My last month was 82 credit with 81 block actually with 18 days off. Too much work ? Yes sir. But, not following what’s so special about it.

you don't lose the buffer until us drop to 1/2 your credit value of the original line.
ie, line is 60 credit 75 guarantee:
drop 10hours: 50 credit paid 65
drop 31 hours: 29 credit paid 29

if you want to get back to 75 - yes then you have to do those 10 hours again. but, if you just want a better QOL f--k the 75 hours

Remember, he said per month so:

82hr CR/30.4 days = x/28

X= 75.5 hrs CR -> he is matching our guarantee but only working 10 days / 28 or 18/28 days off. We earn on average 6 CR hours per duty day. He, apparently, earns 8.

That would be the UPS equivalent of 16 days off /28 for 75 hr guarantee. We see a good handful of lines like that in our bid packages, but certainly not the average.

@UPS, we can get the same deal from bid lines that aren’t stuffed up with duty days but we are blocking a heck of a lot less hours for the same credit. I don’t think it would be possible for us to consistently earn 8hr CR per duty day actually flying. SJU turns we’re the only pairings I’ve ever seen that credit that much and you couldn’t do them back to back.

But when we start talking about conflict bidding and vacation rules, we can do some crazy stuff!!

I was only referring to the scenario of getting back to 75. I probably said it poorly, which is pretty standard.

So is it possible to eventually hold a 14-16 day ON schedule with one commute a month for 74 ANC or 74 any base? And being able to do that every month if you wanted? I'm sure the answer is somewhere but couldn't find it. Thx.

Prob on reserve in ANC. If you bid a hard line you have to be super super super senior. Otherwise a lot of the hard line schedules are like 7-10 on with 1 or 2 days off. Then followed by 4 or 5 day trip.

I see... So you would basically have to jumpseat/buy a ticket to and from work and have your own crashpad/hotel if you bid a reserve line every month to make that work.

Thanks.

If you bid the 14 day reserve blocks you'll probably plan on buying maybe 2 or 3 hotels. They're pretty busy up in ANC, so you'll be out flying a lot.
