I'll never know first hand, because I won't do it. Interrupt my rest and the clock starts over.
I suspect the monetary bonus is Zero dollars.
We have NO OBLIGATION to be available for notification prior to show time, which is 1 hour before scheduled departure time. Showtime is based on required preflight duties and countdown parameters published in our FOM. I don't believe anyone wants us to cut corners or rush -- that only leads to mistakes.
The Company is simply counting on the GOODWILL of pilots to bail them out of a difficult situation. My GOODWILL bank was set to zero when my brothers in Hong Kong were fired. It went NEGATIVE when The Company put PBS on the negotiating table.
