Thanks for the sympathetic responses all, I have to say that this is one area where not having substitution is a raw deal! At least with sub I would have the pay covered. Now I am sure I'll be SOL for my original BLG. I've got an email in to ALPA on this, just waiting for a reply. The Captain I'm flying with said it sounds like a raw deal to him too.
I'll let you guys know the outcome.
