“4 leg 4 day at 20 hours”. Let’s break it up for Lincoln
4 leg=you fly 4 legs for the trip
4 days= you are working 4 days
20 hours= the pay
Some of us don’t want the SWA workload and prefer to work less.

How would it take 3 days to make 7 hours????? It really doesn't. At least not for me. Most of our 20 hour 4 days are easily commutable on both sides. Most of our 27 hour 4 days aren't commutable on either. It is almost 2 full days extra for 7 hours of pay extra. I would be gone 18 days for 81 hours, or 16 days for 80 hours. And that includes having to commute 1 less time with the higher credit trip.

A 27 hour 4 day imputes an average of 6.75 hours per day. To get to 72 hours (rounding up) that is 11 days. To get to that same 72 hours with your 20 hour 4 days imputing a 5 hour credit per day that equals 14.4 duty days so rounding that up as well to 15 its actually an extra 4 day trip just to get to the same min guarantee. "Most of our 27 hour four days" um... what 27 hour four days? Lmao

One thing you need to try to understand is one size doesnt fit all, not everyone wants to do high block trips. It might not make sense to drive to work to do a 5 hour turn, its min credit (oh God) but some of us are fine with the easier path and are financially not needing to chase the extra money by working like a regional pilot.

And yeah, I will have to agree that I don’t really have a meaningful rebuttal to the word salad you posted.
We have several over 25+ hour credit 4 days, including the odd 27 hour one. None of those are commutable as I said. And I could do the math for you again. Or maybe you could try to read what I said again. Having said that, I tried reading what you said several times and it didn’t help me, so I highly doubt you would do better. Impute….. now I’m LMAO.

Yes, it's called "soft time." Its called a 4 day that pays 20 hours, blocks 17, and a low TAFB (has to be with the 3.5 rig) means I get paid 20, to fly less, and I have at least one large chunk of day 1 or day 4 at home because of the low TAFB, to you know, see family. Versus, blocking 26 to credit 26, while waiting on the short hotel bus for my 10:45 minute layover at the MEM short, no food, no gym, nothing.
