Now if what you're getting at is delayed operations (which I wasn't talking about at least), that's a different (albeit related) animal.
That's not true. Read section 12 of the PWA. You have to know why you are getting credit for a trip. After completion of a rotation, a pilot will receive pay and credit for the greater of:
Rotation credit, or
The sum of the pilot's duty period credits, or
ADG, or
The sum of the pilot's DPMs, or
The sum, on a daily period basis, of the greater of:
A pilot's flight time, or
Minimum calendar day, or
The pay and credit determined at rotation construction
You have to know what each leg and each day is contributing and how it is contributing to the credit of the trip. Happy to eat crow if I'm wrong on this.
