Time

[NW Mailing List]

Harry,

    Don't know about the timepiece issue, but I'm sure the time slips 
the crew put in did not shortchange themselves. If they had a good run 
(less than 8 hours) and were working on mileage, they would bill on 
mileage, if on o.t., they would convert the overtime (if any) to miles 
by formula.
