BIDX ME Filter code OSC

Trying to do my bid and for the life of me can’t figure out what “OSC” means when you select a “Filter code”

Override Schedule Credit for the extra pay on longer trips.

OK, so what exactly does that do for your bid? Does it order the lines in terms of "actual credit"?

I've looked as hard as I can and I can't find that filter on Windows version of BidX or the ipad version.
Is it possible that's the same thing as "true pay" Paul has previously used in BidX?
I assume everyone on the 777 understands that block hours scheduled on a flight over 10 hours are part of the trip guarantee. The block hours between 8 and 10 are called BKO and don't get paid until they are flown. If a flight scheduled for 13:15 is under-flown by 10 minutes, then the 2 hours from 8 to 10 will be reduced by that 10 minutes. The BKO, will end up being 1:50 rather than the potential max of 2:00.

Paul allows someone to rank order trips/lines by the "true pay" which includes the assumed best case of BKO being its maximum number. Is that the OSC option you're talking about?
