Overs on that trip would doubtfully would exceed the difference between LV and PTC
It's easy to feel like you lost "overs", but in reality you got PTC protection and paid for work you didn't fly.
We used to only have PTC for trips after the 20th of the month. If you had cancelled trips for MX or any other reason, you truly got hosed. This whole month PTC is way better.
I may have been paid for work I didn't fly ..... but I sat in a hotel at the companies disposal in the middle of a 4 day trip... and was rewarded with the inability to get paid for additional flying I did at the end of the month...
