Should the crew really feel a loss of pay for saying, "hey, we'll get back to the hub but we're going to be far too tired to do that turn afterwards because of what happened during the night."
I think they should be paid 100% for it and the sick bank is an appropriate way of doing that.
You call CS and let them know that you have had a severe rest disruption and you push the show time back. If you haven't had enough rest to do the turn then you likely are not going to be sufficiently rested to fly back to the hub to begin with. It is not ok to limp back into base when you are not fit to fly in the first place.
