You find those trips either in TTGA or Open Time Awards with the code AR.
In TTGA, you can run a legality check and if legal, it’ll say so but it’ll also tell you to contact Scheduling for assistance. This pays second-year rates.
If it only says you’re legal, and no reference to call Scheduling - it pays first year rates.
Also, be aware that the trip pay shown in trip trade giveaway may not accurately reflect the actual pay. If it went thru open time the pay is the pay listed in the M/D/H column NOT the Credit column. Especially on trips assigned to reserves that are broken up trips and pieced together trips the Regular Credit column and the M/D/H column are usually different with MDH being typically a lot higher pay. So, yes you will receive second year pay if you pick up a trip from a reserve assigned trip and it will pay the higher MDH column pay. Confusing enough....LOL
