They will either pay the MUP or move to the next reserve pilot, which honestly would sound like a incorrect assignment. "Hi, we are tagging you with the trip because the junior guy with the same number of RAPs wants MUP and we wont pay it"
In the end 99.9999% of the time they will pay the MUP or delay the flight.
Not completely true. It’s just a matter of how much down line chaos a delayed flight creates. I have seen them try all rsv for mup and then go to xy to get the flight out on time.
