LCA are limited by 117. Sim guys can do doubles, and they get paid for all the time (brief and sim), so that's 12 hours/day (even if they combine the briefs). Combined with the over-ride it adds up fast. I've even seen triples in the distant past...
APD's get paid extra.
But they tend to work a lot. I had to decide whether to leave for a major or stay and do sim. Pay was good either way, but different lifestyles.
