When they posted the language, I said.... it proves MY point is correct, not yours because the company says in that specific example the assignment will be removed (not pay protected) and the pilot will be returned to RAP.
Then they got all huffy again and said "pay protection in that situation is rediculous" thus coming full circle and arguing against themselves about pay protection.
I find it humorous when people are such huge cheer leaders for something that they contort logic to match their beliefs, even when the black and white language contradicts them.

it is pay protected as long as you show up on time (NOT push time). You don't need to beat the call out. Just arrive at exactly 180 minutes after notification.
