We are pay protected for trips already on the calendar. We do get paid an R day for days without an event, but only up to 14 days after the test and if you are quarantined/isolated in the field.
I returned home after the CDC recommended 5 day isolation period and the R days/per diem stopped.
Get well soon! My point is you can be pay protected up to 60 days. Section B.3 of the Medical MOU

a. The Company will exercise reasonable efforts to expedite Covid-19 testing and/or return to work clearance of pilots who are symptomatic.
