They start changing stuff on you and you get the greater of what you do or original trip and any new legs pay LCO on top of the rig.

We have a seniority based pick up that gets throttled once you hit 110% of the ALV (around 105) where people under the cap get a crack before people above the cap but if there’s enough trips you can still snag stuff. I’m too jr to get premium awards since RSV assignments put you above the cap so I get poor man’s premium….LCO. I picked up a high credit 2 day this month that paid 18. Guarantee was 85 for Feb. so I started the month at 103. Worked every day on rsv until this week and 3/4 trips triggered LCO. Sked pulled one 3 day off my schedule after I already was notified and gave me a completely different 3 day. Rsv guarantee was 18, that trip pays 40 so add 22 to the 103 just for that weekend. Adds up over the month. LCO adds do not count for the cap either.

UAL guys can chime in on how to work the cba on rsv to boost credit.
