With the TA, it is per leg:

Paid LCA Override for each leg LCA duty is conducted
If the entire trip is an LCA trip, the override applies to any Rig pay

Apparently, many LCA trips are only partial LCA trips, so even with the hourly pay increase, they may be losing pay overall.

The MEC solved Kirby’s LCA problem, and even managed to screw the LCAs while they were at it!
