For example, coming off a vacation day scheduling cannot assign you anything that reports before 1800. 2 days prior at 0900 when they run coverage, they can award you a GS "less than 18 hours to report" that reports at 1759. So over 48 hours prior to report you can be awarded a GS "with less than 18 hours to report". This confuses many people.
Having said all that, since this was a multi-day rotation that started on your last LC day you were not eligible to be assigned the rotation as a standard reserve assignment. Scheduling should code this as F on the daily trip coverage report (not G). This code will correctly apply the first duty period's pay above reserve guarantee. The net result in this instance is you get the full rotation value above guarantee (day 1 F code and days 2-4 on X days) plus either 2 PB days and a PR (if the rotation released before 1500) or 3 PB days and a PR (if the rotation released after 1500).
You sure about that?
23.M.5.: “Open time with a scheduled report of:
a. 18 hours or more after award/assignment will be covered under Section 23 N.
b.
less than 18 hours after award/assignment will be covered under Section 23 O.”
The ladder that shows it is “23.O.” Open Time Award/Assignment Sequence for
Rotations Reporting Less Than 18 Hours After Initial Attempt to Contact Pilot (Short Notice Ladder)
23.O.14.: “Pilots
(including long call reserve pilots whose rotation would report within 18 hours of initial attempt to contact) who have submitted GSs (by proffer, in category, in seniority order)”
The pay is listed under 23.U.1.c.: “A long call reserve pilot who is awarded a GS rotation with a report that is
within 18 hours of the first attempted contact will receive single pay, no credit for the first duty period of the rotation (in addition to any other pay and credit for the bid period).”
I don’t think the short notice ladder would apply when 2nd day coverage begins at 0800 PBT per 23.M.2.
