It's a huge difference.
Do you understand why I gave those specific examples?
Let's go back to what you said.
OT can and is still be offset by deductions. There are even cute little examples shown in section 3
I'll give you a hint. Those are the only reasons when OT does not go over your monthly guarantee. So it's never "offset by deductions" unless it's caused by the pilot.
