In the end, ALPA did not have to take any specific action for my pay problem, but just mentioning to key people at Colgan management that I informed them seemed to light a fire under their butts.
And to add to my previous list, scheduling called me to get me to fly 1 hour after the deadline for long call reserve.
But on the bright side. The majority of Q FA's are pretty attractive. Especially in IAH.
