The "difference" is 18 hours. You multiply that times pay rates and put it in the bank.
So work rules directly affect pay.
Just this one alone in this scenario is like getting a 25% pay raise. (90/72 = 1.25
We didn't even talk about trip or duty rigs yet.....
I was actually on reserve here and if they used you every day you got to 90 hours. Old contract they worked you every day and you got 90 hours, new contract they work you every day and you get 90 hours. No difference.
