Straight pay within trip footprint (higher of original trip or flown of course). Typically 1.5 for outside footprint (all voluntary).

I'm afraid there is something wrong...at some point no amount of money is worth more of your time...certainly not regional money (or any rational multiple thereof).

Sometimes, the policy seems inconsistent. At least with 117 sometimes you can play the "I'll have to drive X number of hours home (or to my "friends" house) and then back, so you'll have to push the departure time so I get eight hours opportunity." They have no policy or precedent which requires, after a reflow, that you buy a hotel nearby to ensure you can get back to work quickly.

That's the way it is now, within trip footprint. Outside of footprint it's all voluntary (it's referred to as "junior man" but it's not really).
Important point: can XJT be junior manned (involuntary) into a day off, ie can they extend your trip or catch you on duty to assign another trip on your days off?
