Called sched and they told me that they always add in 30 minutes for "debrief" which put me under the 10 hours to report. Is this standard and/or required? I got credit for the trip, but only at single pay rate (would much rather have flown it at GS rate).
Second question: had I not looked at iCrew for random reason, I wouldn't have noticed until trying to sign in tomorrow AM that I had the trip pulled. Is that standard? Seems kinda sketchy to me. Shouldn't they have at least called?
Without referencing the contract, I'm sure I will get some of this wrong. I've had it happen to me too though.
In reality, the greenslip isn't "yours" until (I think) 2 hours prior to report. They can find someone else and for some reason they don't notify you. I have all the SMS settings set up and not known they pulled a greenie. Once I was actually sitting on my commuter flt to go up the night prior and got a text from a friend that my GS had been pulled...no call, no suit up pay, nothing.
If you are getting single pay and don't have to fly it, keep your head low and hope it stays on there.
Certainly someone will chime in with references and the contractual language, but yeah, consider yourself lucky that you discovered it.
