Yes it does. Over-block is one of the things that our pay computation looks at. The other one is how many 243 NM segments are covered in that particular leg. Then there’s daily and trip rig to factor in.
So yes, we are paid by the minute as “overfly” is considered. Unfortunately, it’s only after five minutes of overfly/over-block that this kicks in. Over-block by four minutes and there is no extra. Over-block by seven minutes and you get the extra seven minutes.
Let’s hope the first four minutes of overfly for free gets fixed in the next contract.
