There is actually a whole page devoted to this scenario in the pilot calendar. It’s the page to the left of the substitution flow chart and is labeled “Sub & Overage Options Due to Trip Extension”. The flow chart is for somone considering their options while sitting at home or in domicile after they just found out their next trip is no longer there. It's not where you want to be looking when you're already out on a trip.
Yea I think I "learned" a little more about SUB that I didn't know before this.
In my defense it is
way too complicated, and at 0200 in the AM, it's hard to learn (let alone read) the complex parts of our contract. Look I've only been here like 20+ years, you can't expect to know everything about how we interact with the company in such a short period of time. Maybe my failure to understand SUB will help someone reading this thread in the future.
On the bright side, I did get to take my daughter on a collage tour I didn't think I'd be home to do.
