MD11Fr8Dog, how did they get away with bumping you off without compensation? Did you get a copy of the trip assignment with your name on it? If so, I'd grieve the fact you were assigned the trip, and the company didn't comply with 4.F.1 below:
SECTION 4
MINIMUM GUARANTEES AND OTHER PAY PROVISIONS
F. Trip Guarantee
1.
A pilot's trip guarantee shall be the scheduled credit hour (SCH) value of the trip when the trip is awarded/assigned to the pilot (e.g., bid award, trip trade, open time assignment) or when the pilot blocks out on the trip, whichever is greater.
If your name's on the trip, it's yours. If they take you off of it because of their mistake, they still must pay you. At least that's my read of the contract. I'd definitely get contact enforcement involved, though.
