First, a trip has a 4 hour daily minimum. So if you only fly 1 hour on that day, you still get paid for 4. Logically, a 4 day has to be worth at least 16 hours (although they are worth more than that).
This is as opposed to a trip minimum. Say you fly 7 hours on day one, 1 hour on day two, and 6 hours on day 3 for a trip. That 3 day is worth 17 hours. I don't know if OO has anything like that.
Cancellation pay is 100% leg by leg. Legs are also paid by better of average value (the historical average of the flight) or what you actually fly. My understanding is OO flies the first 15 minutes over for free.
Vacation pay is also based on what you actually fly. So a pilot flying a 900 gets paid 900 pay during vacation (and training), as opposed to OO where all pilots take vacation and training at 200 pay.
OO minimum daily guarantee = 4:12 (4.2 Hours)
Trip rig of 4:1, which means you take the entire time away from base and divide by 4, and if the number is more than the credit value of the trip, you get paid the bigger number.
100% cancellation leg by leg
OO doesn’t fly the first 15 minutes over for free. It’s the historical credit or better, same as Endeavor.
Vacation pay for the CRJ is paid at 200 rate, and vacation pay for the E175 pilots is at the E175 rates.
Overtime pay at OO only goes up to 150% and starts at 100%, unlike Endeavor which starts at 150% goes up to 200%. Endeavor pay rates are obviously much higher.
Minimum days off is the same.
