I checked the trip pay in Icrew and we only got scheduled pay for the live leg flown even though we overflew the block time...there were 2 deadhead legs, one before and one after the actual reposition flight. I am not sure how the trip rig or DH legs figure into the pay for this trip. I scanned the PWA under both charter ops and compensation and could not find any guidance...any input would be appreciated.
I haven't had the exact situation but I have pushed, proceeded to the runway, then had to return and shut down for maintenence. After fixing the jet we pushed again and headed out. My rotation had 2 lines for the trip. The first was MSP-MSP, the second was MSP-GRR (or wherever we were going).
This has happened a couple times and tracking usually figures it out correctly. Even if you're repositioning make sure to fill out the Init Data on ACARS as if it were the real flight. Once the door opens (or beacon off for south aircraft), the ACARS gets an IN time. If ACARS has an OUT time and IN time but no OFF or ON time (ie. you never got airborne), the problem will be automatically fixed in your rotation. However, if you don't do this ACARS majic you have to manually call tracking and have them add your times. Hope you kept a log of times.
