Look at the contract (better yet, download the Contract Legality Guide off the ALPA website.
So far you will have 1 hour ADD PAY. If they don't use you tonight, you'll have two.
While on the subject, I don't know why, but I was under the impression that any unused short call after five, you got two hours add pay for those.
Haven't flown since 1st week in September....
Bad info being given out or incomplete.
You get nothing for SC #1 and #2. Short calls 3-5, you get one hour each, and it doesn't matter if you aggressively picked up or was assigned. Those all must be 'UNUSED'.
To get more add pay of 1 hour for each short call going above #5, you had to have 5 ASSIGNED unused short calls prior and each SC above #5 has to be assigned as well. So let's say you were given 5 SC's and all went unused and you aggressively picked up 2 and were assigned 3, then SC's 3-5 get one hour each of add pay. For #6 and #7, absolutely nothing. #8, you would get one hour of add pay, if #6 and #7 were both assigned (not aggressively picked up), to give you a total of 6 assigned and unused SC's. So that's why you get Paid on #8, because that is your 6th ASSIGNED SC.
If you were ASSIGNED SCs on 1-5, then your 6th SC, if assigned, would be add pay of 1 hour. Kapiche?
Hopefully that makes sense. And no, it's only one hour per, not two.
