Mesaba - 4 hour minimum day... for now...

Duty 0-12 hours 1:2
12-16 hours 1:1
 
ZW's former trip rig was 3.5:1.

My September award is 12 days off with about 80.5 hours of block and about 84.25 hours credit. The TAFB is over 335. With a 3.5:1 trip rig, this line would credit 95.7 hours.

So, whenever your duty is greater than 12 hours, you get paid straight duty hours for the day (like 15 hours of pay in one day)? That's pretty cool. Really.

Nope...It's scheduled duty, not actual duty time.

If you are scheduled for 8-hours of duty that turns into 16-hours of actual duty then you are paid the greater of credit, block or 4-hours.

When premium pay shows up it is usually the last day of a crappy 4-day trip.

In other words, the credit value of the first 3-days is so $hitty that they schedule you for 13-14 hours of duty to bring the credit value of the 4-day into the 18-hour range. The added benefit is that it makes the 4-day trip noncommutable.

Later...
