Hmm. I didn’t realize our duty day is about to change. From the examples we’re gonna fly these trips. But it’s over duty? I thought the 4k turns only! By itself…. Not a part of the sequence. What gives?

In order for bases that do not have destinations that qualify for the 4K turn to have access to these high time turns, a minimum of 10% of such turns would need to be built into multi-day sequences for all bases to benefit from the higher time pairings under the 4K provision. All of the rules apply to bidding whether the 4K is a turn or built into a multi-day. You will not have to fly any of these sequences if you do not bid for them. Hope that explains the multi-day trips that contain a 4K sequence.
