Do I get paid the value of the trip, or is it dropped and I only get training pay for what I do at the SIM?
Normally, when they drop a trip for recency, you do NOT get paid for the trip, but paid for the sim. If you can get into the sim before they've dropped the trip, you should be OK.
There may be some kind of exclusion for Mil Leave returnees, call your Rep and ask him, or wait until Monday and call the DALPA office, or call the sim scheduler, see if they can get you into the box for a quick recency ride.
