Because of the unscheduled overnight, I was unable to do two different GS's I was called for today. Is it possible for me to get pay protection, etc for the GS's? If I had not gotten stuck I would have done one. I think I'm SOL but figured I'd ask.
Also, it looks like scheduling left the second GS on my line and Nooped it. My time card actually shows pay and credit for it, but I'm suspecting they'll remove it later. I do not let them award GS's while I'm flying so that isn't why its there.
Any ideas?
Call 1-800-USA-ALPA (D-ALPA office in ATL) Ask for the scheduling gurus.
My opinion, think you're right about being S.O.L for the GS pay. The diversions were outside the company's control due to weather/IROPS in the NE. Never hurts to call.
