We wouldn't get the 3 hours of pay on a layover but the 4:1 duty rig takes over, basically guaranteeing (sp?) us an average of 4.75-5.0 hours of pay per day on a 75-80-hour TAFB 4-day (normal). IE one day could be 7.5 hours of pay, the next could be 2.5 (although the min day of 3.0 credit would take over at that point, so you'd end up with an additional 0.5 credit that day). It equals out in the long run though. The rigs are just there to force the company to make efficeint schedules, or penalize them if they do not (by paying us for wasting our time). Same protections you have with getting cx, mx, extended (premium pay) etc.

I think you guys have us beat on the flica stuff though. The company likes to retain control of our flica. It isn't automated.
