That was the case with me. NRT trips never last in OT more than a few minutes. This particular trip was a flying leg over with a Deadhead back. With all that soft time, I was willing to do it at straight time. The 50% PP was an unexpected surprise. I’m 12 from the bottom of the BES...I shouldn’t even be a lineholder at this point...
