The exceptions to the min day & trip/duty rig didn't come until the 2003 concessionary agreement.

When a pilot is assigned to duty by the Company, he will be paid the greater of the following:
1. One (1) hour of pay for every two (2) duty hours.
2. One (1) hour of pay for every three and one-half (3.5) trip hours.
3. Three (3) hours of pay for each calendar day or portion thereof a pilot is away from domicile (from the time commencing forty-five (45) minutes before scheduled domicile departure until fifteen (15) minutes after block-in at his domicile). This paragraph will not apply to a calendar day if the pilot was not scheduled to be on duty that day, but remained on duty because of unanticipated problems such as weather, mechanical, air traffic, and the pilot is released from duty no later than 0200 local time.
4. Actual flight time; or
5. Scheduled flight time.
When computing trip value, the above calculations will be used and will apply to all scheduled and unscheduled operations.
And the concessionary language:

2. Exceptions
a. Minimum Day Exception
Either (but not both) the first day or the last day of any
three- or four-day trip will be exempt from the minimum
daily pay provision, provided the pilot is originally
scheduled to check in at or after 1500L (if applied to
the first day) or is originally scheduled to report off on
or before 1200L (if applied to the last day). Instances
in which the minimum day will not apply will be
designated on the schedules.
Example: A pilot is scheduled to check in at 1830 on
the first day of a three- or four-day trip. He is
scheduled for 2.5 block hours. No minimum
day will apply on this day. The pilot will be
credited with the greater of scheduled, actual, duty rig pay (if any), or trip rig pay (if any).
Example: A pilot is scheduled to report off at 0930 on
the last day of a three- or four-day trip. He is
scheduled to fly 2 block hours. No minimum
day will apply on this day. The pilot will be
credited with the greater of scheduled,
actual, duty rig pay (if any), or trip rig pay.
Example: A pilot is scheduled to check in at 1830 on
the first day of a three- or four-day trip. He is
scheduled to fly for 2.5 block hours. On the
last day of the trip, the pilot is scheduled to
fly 2.5 block hours and is scheduled to
report off at 0930 at his domicile. The
Company may designate that the minimum
day does not apply on either the first or last
day of the trip, but not both. The “no
minimum day” provision will be designated
on the bid schedule and final bid award.
This exception to the minimum day rule applies only to
schedule construction, and will not be applied as a
result of rescheduling that occurs during daily
operations. For example, if a pilot was originally
scheduled to check in at 1000, but due to a
mechanical problem, his report time is delayed to
1515, the pilot will be credited with the greater of
scheduled, actual, minimum day, duty rig pay (if any),
or trip rig pay (if any).
b. CDO Exception
A CDO will not be subject to the minimum day (3.C.3.),
duty rig (3.C.1.), or trip rig (3.C.2.). Each CDO will
have a minimum value of five (5) hours. A pilot will be
credited with the greater of scheduled flight time,
actual, or five (5) hours for each CDO.
c. Non-Rigged Trip (NRT) Exception
After the regular lines are constructed in accordance
with Section 25.E., the Company may designate up to
five percent (5%) of the total time, by position, as trips
that are not subject to the duty and trip rigs. These
trips will be identified on the relief lines (if applicable),
and in open time as non-rigged trips.
Example: 1,000 block hours scheduled for ORD
CL-65. No more than 100 hours (10% of the
total block hours) may remain unassigned
after the regular lines are constructed. No
more than fifty (50) hours (5%) may be
constructed into trips designated as NRTs.
The NOM exception wasn't a
huge loss, and I never saw a NRT paring, but the drop in trip rig from 3.5:1 to 4:1 (counter to Sniper's assertion it doesn't help regionals much) was costing some pilots as many as TEN HOURS of pay per month due to the high TAFB/low credit nature of many of AWAC's 4-day parings back in 2007...not sure about paring construction today.
