Instead of paying 27 hours, they ended up paying 47 hours total, but the Director Of Crew Scheduling can say in the morning meeting that she avoided paying Premium.
jeeze, this sounds like PSA. Just finished a trip that on the captains side was covered as one trip, but broken up into 6 different pairings on the FO side. Burning 4 reserves. only two legs were picked up at "premium". absolutely bizarre.
