4 hr min day at Mesaba has been proven to be VERY lucrative. Everybody thought the 2 leg days and such would be gone as soon as the scheduling provisions were implemented. Not so... there are still 2 leg days or days that the 4 hr min day applies. Gone are the 9 hour 3 days or 10 hour 4 days, some trips are still built that way, but when the 4 hr min day kicks in, it makes it more worthwhile. That, combined with full cancelation pay, trip gntee and block or better make it pretty decent. I blocked about 75 hours in Feb due to mx and wx cancelations, but because of our contract provisions I credited over 90 hours. I've made so much more money with 4 hr min day... and it's look forward, not look back. A duty rig would have been nice, but you can't win 'em all. Maybe on the next contract.
