The SRH and SA 19-07 are very clear. The reserve green slip only pays the PNC for the first duty period if it could not have been assigned coming off of X days. In other words, you can get PNC for a rotation reporting 00-17:59 on your first LC day after a string on non-fly days.
No where in the Alert or the SRH does it say that you’ll get the first duty period PNC in this hypothetical 2nd day coverage LC XX XX since the report is greater than 18 hours from initial attempted contact.
SRH page 48
”Note: A pilot may also be awarded a GS rotation with a report that is earlier than ten hours after the end of the pilot’s last non-fly day (normally 1000 pilot base time). In such a case, the pilot would receive single pay, no credit (above the guarantee) for the first duty period, regardless of when the pilot is actually notified of the award.
Example: At 0930 on their last X-day, a pilot is notified of a GS award for a rotation reporting at
0500 on their first on-call day. Although the notification in this case occurs more than 18 hours prior to report, they will receive single pay, no credit (above the guarantee) for the first duty period of the rotation if they accept the proffer. The pilot should see the rotation award coded as F (not G) on their iCrew monthly schedule display”
From the alert:
”These sections apply specifically to a reserve pilot on long call. Because the reserve pilot on long call has a [18]-hour response time to report for a rotation, he or she may volunteer for a GS rotation with less than [18] hours prior to report. Such an award is a proffer and results in single pay, no credit (above the guarantee) for the first duty period of the rotation. A pilot may also be awarded a GS rotation with a report that is earlier than ten hours after the end of the pilot’s last non-fly day (normally 1000 pilot base time). In such a case, the pilot would receive single pay, no credit (above the guarantee) for the first duty period, regardless of when the pilot is actually notified of the award.”
Every RES GS awarded at Delta pays, at a bare minimum, the first duty period value above RES guarantee. It doesn't matter if you are awarded on X going onto LC or on LC going into X or entirely on LC. The amount of time from notification to report is irrelevant.
The only method the company has to pay this properly is the F code. A G code will ever only pay premium on the duty day(s) that are over X days. The F code bumps the first duty period (on a LC day) to pay/no credit above RES guarantee. You never get/need an F code for a GS from X days to LC days because you are already getting the first duty period paid above guarantee with the G code since it is a X day.
As I said earlier, the F code is really poorly named. But because it's called "less than 18 hours to report" people just get stuck up on that and can't realize that
it has other applications as well. Literally last month, on LC XX XX, the day prior to my last LC day I got called in the afternoon for a GS reporting late the next night on my last LC day. Well over 18 hours to report. It was awarded and coded immediately by scheduling as an F code. Full rotation pay since the F code paid day 1 on top of guarantee and the other 2 days were on X days so that was on top of guarantee as well. Again I do this probably a couple of times a year as a serial RES bidder. I only ever do it on LC going into X days, usually more than 18 hours to report, and every single time it's been coded as F, or if scheduling intially coded it G I called and they immediately switched it to F.
