Where I'm confused is whether I get a payback day or not? I find it odd that I just lose the day off. What if I had something important scheduled that day? Am I missing something? I've read Section 23 several times but I can't find the answer to my question. Any ideas?
You won't get a payback day, but you should get paid GS pay for the time you fly on the day off. If it is a credit trip, you will also get GS pay for the credit since they pay that out based on the day the trip ends.
