The reason we have triple premium is because there is so much uncovered flying so you will have plenty of opportunity especially on the jet.
Just a note, our premium pay works differently than most other regionals. Premium pay is 4 hours per day plus what you work so triple premium is 12 hours per day plus what you work. So for example a 4 day credited at 22 hours would pay 70 hours if picked up on days off. For me at least, at my pay rate that's over $5000. There are a lot of captains that will make well over $100k this year, myself included. Many F/Os will clear over $60k without bonuses. It's a good time to be at Piedmont.
