I never liked the 2 man DUB/JFK trip. imho, for me... it borders on the safety issue. The most tired I have ever been on a DAL trip was that one. The only reason I do not avoid it is because it is an international trip that is good barter material. (That being said, I can't throw bags on one of them...)

So would a split duty period standup pay a 7:30 guarantee for the whole thing or 7:30 per split duty period for 15:00 total? I think the regional I used to work for paid close to 10:00 guarantee for a standup.

Rest requirements were the same as they are today, i.e., less than FAR 117 requires. Max duty limits were similar to FAR 117, some higher and some lower.
Absolutely!!

I might be ok with the CDO's if they CAN'T be given to those who bid around them. Make them an option for pilots to bid. Then those that can't get there needed sleep with this type flying can bid around them. Not really fair to allow them then realize guys don't necessarily like them and they fall on the junior guys.
Justifying these things by saying "well they are equally evil to other trips we already fly" is not a good idea. We need to be cleaning out problem areas not allowing more. I mean we already have RJ's so why not just allow more right. Or take out all the condo's in the wide body fleet. I mean some of our guys don't get that option right? Lets think about this
Also no one is addressing the staffing impact. I hope we take a hard look at allowing ourselves to become more efficient for the company.
The other stuff seems to sound good. Just hoping we aren't trading anything when we should be making outright gains.
