APD's get paid extra.
But they tend to work a lot. I had to decide whether to leave for a major or stay and do sim. Pay was good either way, but different lifestyles.

its worth noting that LCA pay is only for block hrs. you do not recieve the override on dhd or soft pay (at least on line check trips, not sure for IOE trips). also line check trips do not get cancellation pay.

Oh and APD pay isn’t anymore the SCA pay. You may end up with a few more sessions a month. But it’s negligible. Because you can’t do loft training on a student then there LOE...

APD's get an addition to their per deim pay, but I can tell you it's not worth the paper work head ache. Also LCA renewals, but again not worth it.
Also more interaction directly with the FAA, and that's only been getting worse lately.

But you will work 20-28 days a month..
