The language that YOU posted shows if you beat the callout you get paid premium. If you get stuck in cross town traffic the company puts you back on reserve.
You made the claim "Here is the language and nowhere does it saou'll lose the pay. "
Your claim appears to be incorrect given the very language you posted.
I really don't care since I don't live there. But it seems strange that some pilots are such big cheer leaders for co-terminals that they can't see how the company will realistically handle the situations that are written in black and white.

So lets think this through. They will pay a reserve premium in this instance. But yet if you don't make it, you lose it and go back on reserve. So the reserve calls scheduling and says he/she won't make push. Remember, this is three hours PLUS one hour before push. Do you really believe it would benefit the company just to send the guy back home? Doesn't make any sense. If they can't make it they burn the RAP. When he or she gets back home that's another three hours to start the clock. So they wind up reassigning some one else with all these silly overides now that are on top of the rig. The company "CAN" put you back on reserve. They are only screwing themselves in this instance. Somebody else is going to get premium. And most likely they burn a reserve for the day. Because if their is traffic going to IAH or ORD, it's probably going back too. Since when has SWA ever cared about pushing ontime? Their EMO's are a joke. That provision is only in their so IF they decide to JA/reassign somebody and you can't make it, they are not paying premium to both.
