I am assuming I will be assigned some type of 1,2, or 3 day LCA trip during this period and I will be paid the higher of the LCA trip or the trip awarded during my shadow bid?

The shadow bid trip was subsequently awarded to a person junior to me (so clearly PBS made sure it would be covered). I was thinking of calling the crew planner to see what they have planned for me, but my guess is they will wait until I am finished with my SRQ (which finished up on a saturday) to assign me a rotation with a LCA? Not really sure what to expect, flying, or pay wise...
Yep.. you'll get paid the higher value of your LCA trip or what you were awarded in the shadow. The reason why your shadow trip went junior to you is just that... it was a shadow and a virtual award for credit purposes.
