Then you compare that with total flight time for the month? Say 75 hours? Trip rig wins and you get paid/credited 82.45 hours? Also, is the rig clock running while you are deadheading on day 0 or day 18? Or is it just the flat 25% deadhead pay tacked on to the rig time?
Thanks.
Any month that you have vacation or training or have to call in sick you almost always get paid minimum monthly guarantee of 62 hours.
CRT (Trip Rig) pay does not run on day zero (getting to work) or on day 18 (getting home from work). On average rig will pay you about 72 hours most months while working a normal trip but there is no guarantee above the 62 hours and often a month of pay will be destroyed by a few little changes made last minute by scheduling.
Budget for 62 hours. With the current contract, planning on living on anything above that is financially reckless.
