I have a 0XXX trip built by CS. The last day is a DHD only day. I was looking to see if there was an earlier flight and there are actually 2 earlier DLs (mainline and RJ). If I take the next earlier flight it still provides over 10h of rest.
Because the rotation as built doesn't get me back as soon as possible is it an illegal rotation? Or am I missing something that could possibly make it a legal rotation?
If I call CS are they going to just "fix the glitch" and call it good?
Does this fall under the "errors and omissions" part of the PWA?
TIA
If you call them more than 2 hours prior to sign in, they should no op rotation, pay you single pay, and you’ll have no recovery obligation. If they don’t drop it, you’ll get double pay for what you fly, and single pay. If you let them know less than 2 hours prior to sign in, I believe you get a couple hours added to time card and have to fly it.
I always call and take the no op option.
