If scheduled to be back by 2400 on last day but your late or reassigned, then an EXTRA 5 hours is not paid unless arriving after 0400.
This is huge for West coast HI flying. Those guys fly 12 hour 3 days to HI resulting in 72 hr 12 day off lines. Those will now be 15 hour 3 days resulting in 90 hr lines with 18 hrs being soft time!

Sled.. we keep getting off on the wrong foot.
My post was first about the implementation. Thank you though for answering the "average" question. Just went to the ALPA Site and someone else asked it and got the same answer.
But the thought that the company may still schedule someone for 6 of those trips, since it would equal 72 hours and be something PBS spits out.. is still scary.
What happens when a pilot gets such a schedule but doesn't want it!
Yeah.. it's great to get 90hrs of pay for 72 hours of flying. But not if those 72 hours are also 18 days of work
Again, can anyone answer when the 5 hour pay per day thing starts?!
