First LCO test drive
On day two of my four day trip last week, I was originally scheduled for a two leg day that would have paid 6.22 TFP
Was rerouted into a 3 leg day (one was a deadhead to get me back on my original trip for day 3).
Day two paid 9.6 plus 6.92 LCO for a total of 16.52 for the day.
The two legs that I operated paid at 1.5X, the deadhead paid 2X
The third day was only one leg due to the reroute, but was of course pay guaranteed.
So, with the audit complete the trip originally paid 28.79, and now pays 39.09
Not too shabby!

If there was a rigged day, the override is on top of that. No more flying different legs for free and no more rig absorption of additional legs added.

The only thing that surprised me was that the deadhead paid double. I was under the impression that you only got double of the reroute got you home late (outside the original trip). But apparently it's also double on the legs that fly later than originally scheduled within the day .

LCO has been very lucrative for me as well, though as an AMER, I expected that, as we rarely get move up.
I'm up 20tfp for LCO vs only around 10tfp under DRP this month, and that's on 3 pairings.
