No worries:
5-G-3 Schedules shall contain a minimum of one (1) hour pay value for each three and one-half (3.5) hours elapsed time away from Base, prorated, on a schedule or actual basis, whichever is greater.
24 hours divided by 3.5 hours = 6.857 hours paid in a 24 hour period.
Although 5-G-2 includes the word trip, it is really their day rig. 5-G-3 is the trip rig.
