You get used every day on reserve and get paid 90 hours.
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.....
HUh? Since I've never broken guarentte on reserve (5 years worth), I'm getting a paycut. 76 hour to 73 hours. But I got a 12% raise, so I broke even. Thanks for the "great" contract. I voted no.
