Think of it this way in normal override terms. The override is 10% in the contract. If you credit 80hrs in October and 20 of those hours were 321 flying, you would get a 10% override on only those 20 hours. That money workes out to a 2.5% increase on your entire month.

In Spirit terms we just take company wide airbus block hours instead of each single pilot. Whatever portion of the total block hours is 321 gets a 10% override. So if 25% of the Airbus block hours is 321 then that 25% of the flying gets a 10% override. That’s a 2.5% increase on all of the flying. So we take that 2.5% and apply it to every hour of credit each pilot has for the month whether it’s 321 or not.

As mentioned before as we take more 320s and the ratio of 321s goes down so will the override. Just as if it were another airline and they grew the 320 fleet and not the 321s at the same pace it would be less likely you’d fly 321 and therefore your monthly override money would be reduced. The override stays in place (10%) you just see it less often and get less of it.

Point being- the override is 10%. We just spread it around equally to the pilot group.
