This whole month I've done 24 credit 3 days or 32 credit 4 days on the CRJ, almost exclusively on the 200 too.

The problem with pairings that efficient is that they're usually locals or 2 days and usually they're non-commutable. Commuters limit themselves and are forced into inefficient 4 days on the CRJ.

The E175 certainly has the better 3 and 4 days but I can do 3 locals per week for 24 credit on the CRJ and be home every night. I also get Delta and American benefits.

"Eight hour credit locals, 24 credit 3 days, and 32 credit 4 days"? Which base?

When do we start discussing a financial benefit anytime company operates below min res staffing.
Yeah it won't happen, but what setups do other companies have?

Are we ever going to address the fact that our FAs make 1.5x on anything above 84 and we don't...?

PDX has 8-hour locals on ERJ, no other high credit trips though.

I'm pretty sure it's not SLC. And if it were they'd only have a very small number of them.

I think it's pretty rare to have any trip credit on average more than 7 hours a day in SLC.

They had to do that in order to get the flight attendants to work more. The pilots are already doing it whether they like it or not. They'll just hold your attendance records, that they'll share with Delta, over your head if you try to work less. And it's working.

Why do they not just assign FAs with 90 credit hours as with pilots? What is the difference there?
