Not it will pay a minimum of the block time of around 7:30 hours. If a crew layovers in FAI for MX or another reason, they can get a minimum of 8:00 hours, since there will not be a calendar day, with no duty, that triggers the 4:00 hours of add pay. The trip would operate over 3 calendar days, but the 2 duty periods operate on all 3 of them. With the ADTG, that would have paid a minimum of 14:15.

Now queue all the ADTG haters ;)

On another point, people will have to make sure they are on top of their body clocks on this one. If it is a turn, there is no 3:00 hour minimum at a hotel that a Split Duty provides.

If I can't hold it, then folks in initial training can't either...

At least for now...
