Maybe this was the piece of information that was being missed when voting out ADTG?
That is incorrect. If you have a calendar day in the middle of the pairing with no duty, you should get 4 hours for that day. The exception that 404 likes to get all worked up about is that if you work slightly into that off day, as in block in shortly after midnight, you will not get the credit. The way our pairings have traditionally been built, that is rarely an issue, but to give 404 his ounce of due, they will probably find a way to exploit that weakness, but to what extent has yet to be seen. This was supposed to take effect in June, but somehow it has been kicked down the road to July pairings from what I understand.
