I've got a trip from Feb 3rd that still hasn't been audited. Last week's trip pays LCO and hasn't been audited either.
3+ weeks for a audit is completely ridiculous. The 5 day audit provision isn't implemented yet so they've got til like March 9 to fix it.

Very nice!
I've looked back through months of trips, and even as a PMer, it's clear that LCO is going to end up paying me way, way more on average than the (very) occasional move-up I've had. The simple fact that these are overrides, and no longer swallowed by the rigs, makes it even better for us. I've had maybe one day every two years that would pay better under move-up pay, but those are definitely edge cases.

The scheduling sodomizer algorithm minimizes move-ups due to cost. According to recent SWAPA podcast the algorithm hasn't (and won't) be reprogrammed for some time so I expect the rolling reroutes and LCO pay to continue bearing fruit for a while.

I had one reroute last week that ended up paying around 4 in LCO. One double leg and two deadheads at premium. Due to a delay, we had a 12 hour duty day and it was duty rigged at 9 and change. The nice thing is the override went on top of that. Still didn't water my eyes or anything. Move up would have paid more the next day and would have caused the trip to pay more under the old DRP rules.
I will say, though, it is really nice to not have the rigs absorb extra pay. There was something maddening about that practice that got me to start contriving conspiracy theories about skysolver.
