What he said. Credited hours are far more important than hourly rates (would you rather get paid $75/hr for 62 credit hours, or $65/hr for 75 credit hours, for the same amount of work?) We need an "all of the above" strategy to ensure max credit hours in a month. The more types of rig we have (duty rig, trip rig, daily rig, etc.), the harder it will be for management to game the system and keep our credit hour totals lower.
