Yep. I think each SC should be paid out at 1 hr each in addition to whatever your credit or guarantee ends up being, but it would be acceptable to just increase the guarantee by 1 hr for each SC.
Of course change the guarantee to 75 hours and that would also work but I kind of like the idea of getting paid for the SCs.
As others have stated if you want SC you should be able to bid for it. If SCs paid 1 hr there would be plenty of people trying to get SC and for those that want to stay on LC you would be more likely to get it.
I also agree with your statement that once a RES pilot is assigned a trip they should be protected against cancellation. And while were on the subject, Leg-by-Leg cancellation is a must in the next PWA. The lack of this has cost me 4+ hours in the last two months.
