I tried to answer this using the contract but since I'm still working on my law degree part time, I wasn't able to decipher it.

Paris trip: MEM-CDG-MEM
Hard time trip scheduled for 8:30 block over and 10:00 back for 18:30 total pay. Winds aloft make the actual 8:00 going over and 10:30 coming back for 18:30 actual.

The contract seems to discuss "overage" as a per duty period thing, so I though this trip would be figured on a "per duty period" instead of looking at the whole trip. So, is this a wash or do we get paid for the extra time coming back?

While we're at it, can anyone provide an easy explaination of the over 8 hour pay "capture" thing and how that might (if at all) figure into this scenario?

Thanks,
AD
