Later in the month I submit a GS. I'm offered a GS. Does this reduce how much I am paid for the GS? If it does reduce the pay, how?
Enquiring minds and all that.
The way I read it you will get paid as you should, as you do today.
Presumably the language is there to prevent guys who have flown so much that they are approaching FAR limits that the only way to pick up more flying (GS or WS) would be to call in sick earlier in the month (thus reducing block hours flown, removing FAR consideration etc).
I don't know if we had a problem there but that is how I read the (hopefully rejected) TA language.
