What if the ADTG was increased to 5:30, would you have a different opinion?

Depends, I think we should look at the 6 month data month per month and see how much our average daily flying is, there would have to be data supporting it...but what we have now doesn't work...

It defiantly doesn't work for those pilots doing CDOs, that needs to be addressed also.

I strongly advise those of you that are here or are just starting to review the latest union email regarding ADTG (Average Daily Trip Guarantee), and look at it in our contract and educate yourself. Soon we will all have the chance to put our input in for this issue and I hope that our voices are heard, regardless of the outcome. Over a 6 month period a lot of this pilot group has lost a lot of money with this ADTG. While I know all of our circumstances are different, think about this, as we all gain seniority our positions may change on this subject, something important to think about. The way the company is building schedules does not benefit us to have ADTG. Keep in mind the company will be short staffed and there will be a lot of flying for all of us! Simply put...the ADTG is not working for our pilot group!
Completely agree. We did our time with ADTG, and I am ready to be done with it. Already cost me a lot of money. Hopefully the 4 hrs min credit/pay wins out. I cannot speak for the entire pilot group, but I have yet to fly with 1 person who prefers ADTG.

New pilots who will be on reserve or junior will make more money and get more time off with the current 4:45 ADTG than a 4 hr min calendar day.

Two things:

1
There is so much movement going on right now, whoever is new, won't be on reserve in 60 days after completing IOE when AA planes start coming and flows leave...

2
Reserve pilots and new hires make up a very low percentage of the pilot group, don't get me wrong the ADTG benefits some, but not the overwhelming majority

As with anything, you have to make a decision based off of how it fits for you, that's why we have block reps, I'm willing to bet 80-90% of the pilot group has lost money with the ADTG, look at how much Critical Pay the company is offering? That's not even with people leaving for flow, new airplanes coming, during winter (lowest block hour time per year)

What does a CDO credit under ADTG?
What's the policy with a pick up if you pick up a partial trip does min day or ADTG apply? Or is it barred?

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that CDO's and day trips do not apply to ADTG, CDO credits 4:00 and day trip credits whatever the day is worth credit wise...

With adtg, we are talking about only an additional 30 hrs of credit(over pre-LOA method)to the pilots, at the sacrifice of a whole heck of a lot of pay. With min day of 4.0 hrs pay AND credit, we are talking a much higher increase in credit gain(over pre-LOA method, but without losing any pay.

And let's be honest, some of our union leaders have already admitted privately to adtg being a worse deal than they anticipated.
After the implementation of this adtg, the union implied this was a means to an end....a way of protecting our pilot group from a binding arbitration decision. That end, is 4.0 hrs credit and pay for min day. We are almost there. By August of next year, I truly hope we will be done with adtg.

Now, let's see the numbers. All of them. That is what they are going to give to us, and our pilots will decide what we will stick with. I might have my own opinion, but I'm OK with letting the majority rule here.
