1. Duty Hour Ratio (DHR): A pilot will receive a minimum of seventy four one hundredths (.74) TFP for each hour on duty or fraction thereof.

2. Duty Period Minimum (DPM): A pilot will receive a minimum of five (5.0) TFP each duty period. The DPM will be applied to each duty period in the pairing.

3. Trip Hour Ratio (THR): A pilot will receive a minimum of one (1.0) TFP for each three hours (3:00) away from domicile (report to release) or fraction thereof. This trip hour period may only be broken by a legal rest break in domicile. THR applies to all reassignments.

4. Average Daily Guarantee (ADG): A pilot will receive a minimum of six and one-half (6.5) TFP times the number of originally scheduled Domicile Days (0300-0259 local domicile time) in a pairing. For multi-duty period pairings, ADG will be applied per Domicile Day or duty period(s), whichever is greater. ADG will be applied per duty period, rather than Domicile Day, for all single duty period pairings and all charters.


To convert Trip For Pay (TFP) to hourly multiply TFP by 1.1394. So 12 year Captain pay of $189.78 TFP x 1.1394= $216.23/hour.
