You got hosed I agree, and they didn't follow the rules. But making that 2-hour call at least got you compensated for it where you wouldn't have been otherwise.
“Agreement with ALPA”. What B. S. Been given that outright lie myself. They were 100% wrong (supervisor too), and got reprimanded. Making crap up is unacceptable.
I may have to fly now/grieve later, but don’t believe a single word they say. Follow up with the union and get paid. Hopefully the new contract will include punitive penalties for shenanigans like this.
