Here is an excerpt of the reply email when I asked for P/D pay....

"The Scheduling Committee has completed a review of your schedule and schedule history.

PWA 23 S.1.d requires a reserve pilot to check his schedule via DBMS or VRU no later than 0200 base time on his first on-call day, and PWA 23 S.5.e.2 allows the company to place a rotation or short call on your reserve day nine hours before the end of his last non-fly day. Thus, a reserve pilot must check his schedule between 1500 of his last non-fly day and 0200 of his first on-call day.

Your schedule history shows that you checked your schedule on 12Feb (your last non-fly day) at 1312 base time, and again on 13 Feb at 0348. Unfortunately, because there is no record of you performing your required schedule check after 1500 base time on your last non-fly day and before 0200 on your first on-call day, we are unable to pursue having the PD removed from your schedule.

I know it’s not what you wanted to hear, but I hope I’ve cleared it up for you."

Prior to 117, even without checking my schedule properly, I would have legally flown the flight and had been paid. If I had checked my schedule, at 3:01pm would the trip still have been assigned during my red-eye commute....who knows?
