how can you have fewer days off????
I understand the scepticism but one look at my diaries and logbook shows it to be so, though I appreciate that's almost ancient history by some standards.

More recently there have been more lower credit three day trips than their used to be on some fleets ; some of it the routes, basically "Short Longhaul"...some of it with the newer equipment is down to faster flight times..often marginal differences but they add up, so yes you may well need to work more days to make CAP....Whilst I accept forced assign (FA) only effects a few how many people now feel they have to bid for a trip of their choice to CAP + to try and avoid being FA'd in the first place? It's no wonder people are having problems controlling their banks...something which of course is not going to be helped by the recent change.
