"Time Away From Base (TAFB) Guarantee of 1:4 for pairing construction:
▫ Minimum 1 hour pay credit for each 4 hours TAFB applied to each pairing."
what exactly does this mean as it could be some serious boku bucks in some ways...
It's what's known as a "trip rig." You're guaranteed 1 hour of pay-credit for every 4 hours away from base (TAFB).
It's basically insurance to cover against very inefficient trips, especially long 4 day trips, with long overnights, and long sits. This has been a real problem especially in MSP.
There are a bunch of 4 day trips in MSP that credit only 16 hrs (which is min. day guarantee of 4 hours per day.) but they start early on day 1 and finish late on day 4. These trips can have up to 80+ hours TAFB.
With this 1:4 trip-rig, that same 80 hr. TAFB 4 day trip would pay 20 hours instead of 16 hours.
