I can interpret that section multiple ways in this scenario. Thanks.
No, just the 4hrs. Unless you're going back out in Christmas Day then that's it.

No. You get greater of. You'll get 4 hours in your scenario.

Don't mean to derail the conversation, but, I need help from some of you BP guru's... I finally have an account but can't post anything. When I hit "submit" it opens a new window for "SpellingCow.Com" (the spell check service the website uses) and then a non-HTML listing of all active users.

I've tried Chrome and Explorer, don't think it's malware or anything since it's BP related on my phone and PC. Here's a screen shot: https://s15.postimg.org/tcxgiq9tn/image.png

Do I need to be approved or something to post or am I just SOL?

Perfect! Thanks! I don't know how many times I looked at the profile page to find a fix but that one eluded me.

Dang! Wouldn't be so bad if the reserve rules weren't as bad as they are.

Another xmas question: you have a west coast bound flight that leaves JFK around 8p local on Christmas Day. Arrives Midnight west coast but 3a JFK time - which is now the 26th. According to the FSM you don't get the entire leg as holiday pay? Yes or no? You actually worked 6 hrs on a single leg but that flight carried over into the 26th in JFK, although still the 25th on the west coast.

Whole flight should be Holiday pay, so 6hrs extra. If you don't get it paid as such, file comments in rainmaker as soon as you finish the trip.

I believe this is incorrect.

You get holiday pay for the block time that actually occurred during the 24 hour holiday IN BASE. Your case, JFK

STD your scenario would pay about 4 hours.

*EDIT. I just looked in Rainmaker as I have a similar situation to STD. My information is correct. You get holiday pay for the block that actually occurs during the holiday in base.
