There is a reserve lookback of 5:15 per day. It doesn't show up on rotations but is done on a monthly basis. If you worked 4 duty periods then your lookback is at 21 hours. It doesn't come into play until you bust guarantee. By the way what was your pay rate for the 20 hours you got under the NWA contract, any difference there? How quickly they forget.
