I think we are saying the same thing however. Any leg covered under RR pay you will get double pay. You get single pay and credit plus single pay no credit. If your normal per hour rate is 140 you get 280 for RR legs.

I remember reading a study commissioned by PanAm many years ago about life expectancy of long haul pilots. It turns out that those pilots who predominately flew the east/west routes lived on average, seven years less than those pilots who flew the north/south pilots.
Beyond that, I did some research before I retired and found that if a person, regardless of his profession, retired before age 55, he would live a much longer life than he would if he retired at age 65 and beyond. I am guessing that a lot of this had to do with socio-economic issues, but it was an eye opener nonetheless. In the early 1940s, if a person worked to age 65, his average life expectancy was 67.
There is an interesting website called livingto100.com. There is a simple questionnaire you fill out to give you a better idea how long you are going to be on the planet.

Some of those sequences w/ the WWI era planes looks like the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in NY. Cool place to check out if you're interested.

Good TOTD story a friend just told me about....
He was deadheading yesterday (on DAL) and the PIC made the welcome aboard PA stating that he was a retired F16 pilot and the copilot was a C130 pilot so nobody should have any concerns as they are in excellent hands. LMFAO
