Of course, 5:15/day is better; then again so is $300/hr for every airplane. It's just money, and each of these cost money. We simply have to decide where and how to allocate it.

Just to provide some historical perspective from my 20+ years, we've had at least 3 different methodologies with respect to this. When I was hired it was a 5:00 hr average, then it went to a per day minimum, but that could vary from 4 to 6, but the trip still had to average a minimum of 5, now its at 5:15 average. So, this is the best (as far as I recall) that its ever been.

Let's hope the debt payoff strategy works and there is a bigger pie to take a slice of in 2012-13......

Also for reserves, the Duty Period Average doesn't work the same way. You only get the 5:15 per duty period if you have 14 or more duty periods in a month.
