How much protection do we need from a 16 hour 4 day? They just cant build very many because we all have to average more than that to be forced up to 90 hours and beyond during our 19 days of work each month. (90/19=4.73) For every min credit trip they build, the have to add more credit to some other trip to make up for it. If you really think they are going to build a bunch, just look at the bid packs from the months right before we got stuck with this 4:45 ADTG. At that time we had 4 hours of pay per day minimum, but not credit. It would seem that the math for them would be similar if we go with 4&4. There were certainly a few 16 hour four day trips, but not a ton.

The company will optimize trips to fit whichever option we choose. So what is going on today isn't necessarily what we will get.
I just see the ADTG being a long term hedge against any loss of productivity we may see in the future.
I know we are short staffed now, but that won't always be the case. If we are so short staffed you won't many see 30 hour layovers. They will DH you out (at 80% pay) to go fly some more, instead of letting you rot.
Honestly, either way I'm fine.

Do we have to do the CBTs before we pick up the EFBs? I'm having a hard time with the LIDO chart CBT without having the charts to look at and go through. If we have to have it completed before picking it up, can you fail the CBT and have to get someone to reset it?

No, just have to do it before you use it on the line.

since it's within the cbt it lets you take it until you pass it.

Saw an article saying IAH and DEN were initial destinations, with other routes currently flown by Mesa to follow as they shift flying out of LAX and in to DFW.
Of course, we've all seen the route map the company sent out, but AA schedules still have Mesa listed for them as of today.
