This is how it's paid, yes. If you want to bang out fatigued at the start of a trip, it's much better for you to do it after check in.

Can someone tell me if this happens alot here? I bid straight as a 1st year FO on an open time trip. Just had a senior FO change his bid from premium to straight so that he got awarded the trip. Do people actually bid straight on premium trips? Wtf are you doing dude.

But of course that’s not what sharks do….anyway MOT is where it’s at for you, you still get 2nd year pay and then can flip it in ELTT if you want.

I dunno what FO TTGA looks like, but CA TTGA is picked clean.
