Duty rig of 1/2 = 1 hour of pay for 2 hours duty.
Trip rig of 1/3.5 = 1 hour pay for every 3.5 hours away from base(trip time).
You bid for vacation in the fall for the next year and its all based on seniority. You start with 15 days vacation and it goes up with company longevity.

Basically they're mechanisms to either A. make your time at work worth something, or B. encourage the company to create productive trips.
I don't work for Alaska, but that's generally how rigs work.
