There is 50% Premium pay, but it's at the companies discretion to mark trips as premium. If you get a POTA call I guess you could offer to do it for Premium pay.
But there will also be rolling 8 month limits on flying:
Code:
C. Flight Time and Duty Time Limits
1. Monthly Maximums
a. Pilots flying Group I aircraft may pick-up as restricted only by FAR limits.
b. Pilots flying Group II through V aircraft may pick-up to the lower of the
following:
(1) That pilot’s particular Individual Monthly Maximum (IMAX) as defined in
2. below
(2) The limit on voluntary flying established by the Company for that pilot’s
bid status for a particular month.
(3) FAR limits
2. Individual Monthly Maximum (IMAX)
a. A pilot’s IMAX is calculated by subtracting the Retrospective Factor and the
Prospective Factor from 1080.
(1) The Retrospective Factor is the total of the pilot’s credited projection
(PROJ) for the previous eight (8) months not counting the current month.
A pilot’s actual PROJ in the most recent of the previous eight (8) months
will be used in determining the Retrospective Factor.
(2) The Prospective Factor is the estimated credited projection for the next
three (3) months (e.g. 246 hours assuming the PROJ is 82 hours).
(3) The number that remains is the current month’s IMAX.
b. The IMAX is intended to limit a pilot to an average of ninety (90) credited
hours per month in a rolling twelve (12) month period, except as provided for
in Section 15.N.
