I'm surprised no one has been talking about the new trip construction to meet the Nov ADG deal, the trips are so much worse.
They're going to have to pay 5:15 on the first and last days, so they're going to need to fly you, or they're going to fly the dickens out of you on middle days; there is just no way around it. If there is only one middle day, or worse yet no middle day, we're going to have to work hard on the first and last days.

I think the solution is going to be a lot more four or five day trips.

Sincerely,

FO Obvious

Why is a 3-day JFK/SFO/JFK (in Oct) still only worth 13.5? Afternoon report and release.

I'm glad this topic came up, because it probably didn't get sufficiently covered in 2010-2013.

Did anyone get screwed in the merger?

Very true. I have a bunch of South Pilots in 1991/1992 that are matched with 1996 North hires. We need to look forward. Our merger was and still is the Gold Standard of Airline mergers- Perfect? Hell No, but we are probably all better off in the long run.

Exactly! We all have our sob stories from the merger. ATL is wayyyy more senior than it used to be pre-merger, that's just the way it is.
