Not exactly. If your entire trip was cancelled, then yeah, no pay. But if someone else flew it, you got paid. If you were on a multi day trip, or just part of your trip got cancelled, you got paid sch or actual, whichever was better. If possible, you stayed in the footprint of your trip. This is all US East. From my understanding US west was better.
Most often IF you got rescheduled you picked up your trip somewhere else, or you went home and got paid.
We just didn't see the mass reschedules we see now.
