This assumes you don't fly on your SC, if you do fly you'd get premium pay for what you fly.
Is that the correct understanding? Doesn't seem like a great deal to me...feel like you should still get ADG if you are sitting SC away from base.
REG pilots can pick up too, so it’s a better deal for them. DDH opportunities on both ends of the rotation. Plus if no one picks it up straight the entire rotation can be send out as a GS.
