Minimum Monthly Guarantee. CRT is calculated based on Time Away From Base at a factor of 1:4.95, which pays 4.85 pay hours for each 24 hour period away from base (24 divided by 4.95). CRT is also paid while crews are on layover or reserve in base.
So according to this if you do a 17 day trip you shouldn't ever credit less that about 80 hours in a normal month right?
Rig starts when your trip starts. So if you have an early morning local departure half the Z day is gone. And if you get back in the evening it's only a couple hours into the Z day and you probably won't get home that evening. Low 70's rig credit is normal.
