In 135 and 121 operations, Opspecs rule, as they are approved by the FAA. Opspecs are controlling for issues such as allowing for SIC to log time. That is irrespective of whether or not the aircraft is certified for one or two pilots. Their Opspecs also allow single pilot with an operable autopilot.
BTQ has, apparently, reacted to their turnover by increasing the pain for FOs to leave early, hence the reported higher and longer contract amount. The PIC contract (12 months) prorates after 6 months. I would assume the FO contract prorates similarly.
