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.
Yep agreed. Now forensically tracking down the 7'ish hour's that was posted to a time card that was already closed out from the previous month, there's a challenge.

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.
You may have been meaning to reply to mine. But yea, the "agreement with ALPA" on how the 2hr NC provision functions. BS. What's interesting in my scenario, is after I got off the phone with the CS supervisor, (my BP is at around 300psi), I get a random call a few minutes later from an ALPA rep, that I didn't initiate. (So the CS sup I guess phoned him after our frosty chat, indicating a pilot was unhappy with an assignment?). He basically said ALPA and CS'ing were at some sort of semi-stalemate on how the NC provision is supposed to work. I dunno, on we go.
