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.
Illustrate a single scenario where overblocking on a trip wouldn't reflect a reduction in trip credits when calculating the final L4 leg/pay for that trip (assuming no delayed ops or extensions to the trip.) Excluding MCD since that's basically treated like block for the day.
