from the 1999 CBA (yes, TEN years ago), 50% DHD, CXL varied (certain limited conditions you could get 100%) but generally 50%, and a give back of 15 minutes over trip value before continued compensation.

Lets say our trip value is 1:00 between MEM and LIT. if you fly it in :50 you still get 1:00. If you fly it in 1:10 you will now get paid 1:10. Thats what we want. In our current contract you would still only get 1:00 till you went over :15 minutes. For example now if the flight takes you 1:15 you still only get paid 1:00. Trip value or better seems to me to be the same as block or better.

bingo- company gets the ability to buffer out the block time and not pay anybody, but DOES get industry leading numbers and a bonus. I'm a big proponent of having to "pay to play". Nothing great is free, and the best things are worth waiting for.

What about when trip value is greater than the block?
How many city pairs are credited greater than the block?
Summer time we would make more money, winter time we would lose more money. Would they equal out??
Did the union run the numbers on this issue?

bottom line, all trip values do is guarantee a fixed amount. When you get to 15+ years and can live on 75 hours alone, trip values is what you will desire. Least amount of hours for a guaranteed paycheck.

If I vote no, it will have nothing to do with this issue or 75% deadhead pay...block-or-better and 100% deadhead pay would realistically only make a few dollars difference per month (if anything) in my paycheck...
And let's not forget--POSITIVE SPACE deadhead home on request (if it's on delta/delta conn.) at the end of the trip and/or no-questions-asked release from a dhd at the end of a trip??? That's worth the extra 25% pay to any commuter...

I didn't see that when I glanced over the TA. Does that mean after every trip they positive space us back home?
