I understand a lot (maybe most?) Asian carriers don't count all your "augmented crew" time. They also don't count deadhead time, or at least a percentage of it. You can also be given your "days off" or required "36 hours in 7 days" required rest while on a layover.

This came as quite a surprise to me. I worked in the US and deadhead time for most airlines counted 100% for pay and duty, and augmented crew flights paid 100% as well.

Even a big carrier like Korean Air does this. If I remember, deadhead time gets paid 50%, and I can't remember the penalty for augmented crew.
