Since the trip number hasn't changed, I'm not sure if I've technically been reassigned.

Hey Rock, this looks similar to the 3 crew notifications I received a couple months ago. From the crew notifications it appears you were removed, went into sub and then were assigned your original trip with a change significant enough to have removed you in the first place. This should be a RAT trip for you which, under the new agreement, pays 125%. However the extra 25% won't be added to your pay until the trip is completed. In other words if you went sick you would only get the original value of the trip. You have to block out and fly the trip to get the extra. If you look at that pairing you should see RAT to the left of your employee number under the ASG column. Something like this.....F/O RAT 2XXXXX KONAN, BLODRY
