OSAVIP has it right. You could think of it as 24hr day/4.95 = 4.85+/- per day so a 17 day trip would equal 82.45, but he is more correct to go by the hours away from base calculation which would give you a more accurate number. The monthly pay is actually the greater of this number or actual block hours flown. These are the "greater of" for the entire month, not the "greater of" on a per day basis. FWIW in the 5 months that I have been on line, I have always been paid on the daily (time away from base) "rig" (if you want to call it that) rather than the actual block number.

Atlas pilots bid and are paid on a 12 month basis. I think there is an adjustment made for February by adding a day(s?) taken from Jan/Mar.??
