There's lots of this going on due to the vast inexperience of the scheduling folks. Of course for every "windfall" like mine there's serioius shortchanging going on as well. I'm not diminishing the concerns at all.
But sometimes, "with chaos there is opportunity" and sometimes their mistakes lead to some extra coin for us.
Have you ever been overpaid? Have you ever been underpaid? Which happens more frequently? They are both errors and unacceptable. One benefits the company, the other benefits the pilot if not caught. Do you see a need for change? IMHO the company doesn't.
