Exception: Ocean crossing segments between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii will not:
a. be considered for the purpose of triggering Ocean crossing pay, or
b. receive Ocean crossing pay.
Note: An ocean crossing flight segment operated on a narrowbody aircraft as a result of an unscheduled aircraft substitution (i.e., not published in the bid package) will receive Ocean crossing pay. Such substitution does not trigger ocean crossing pay for any other aircraft
So, again- I’m left wondering if this would pay on either side as-
The 763 is NOT in the highest pay category and
We (at United) have 752’s that cross the pond.
Got to love our “union” for putting items like this in our work agreements. Kinda like they are trying to dupe us.
So who IS getting that Overwater Override?

From the summary sheet posted a few lines above:
3 A. 10. & 3. J. (New) – Ocean Crossing Pay
- Ocean Crossing Pay
- $8/hr CAs, $6/hr FOs, paid as hourly premium for flight time flown on an ocean crossing flight segment, which is triggered by any
narrowbody aircraft (other than B757 or A321NEO going to/from Hawaii) performing an ocean crossing as published in the bid package.
Wasn’t there something similar in Tumi? It’s essentially a pain benefit for having to cross the ocean in a long range NB.
