For reference, at Xjet this basically doesn't happen. If you cancel they may or may not assign you to something else, but they generally won't have you sit endlessly at the airport. 100% pay protection. They won't roll your day off unless it's something beyond their control (like cancelling at an outstation). If they roll you, get your choice of 150% (3.75 min) on the rolled day, or an additional day off next month (something will be dropped from your schedule with pay protection). If you're already at min days off for next month, you'll get *both*.
Enjoy your abuse.

Is there a reason that you come over to this corner of the messageboard to post negative things? Remember this is a small industry and people know who you are.

Yeah, we generally don't get extended into days off except for irops. We are also paid 150% at 3.75 min. We get pay protection. Unfortunately due to some bad language in the contract only reserves get the day off restored, but since it's been abused as of late by the company I imagine that is gonna be fixed in the next contract

Unfortunately irops is not defined anywhere. People get extended all the time due to short staffing. A while back the company started a good faith effort to track and minimize extensions into days off. But come to think of it, I don't think that they have sent out those reports in a while. And the link on the company website for it has conveniently disappeared (although that was likely in conjunction with when all our servers crashed).
I think short staffing is going to be a problem here for a while, as with most other regionals.

Glad I could be of service.
I hope sometime we get a Glossary of terms and abbreviations here (hint hint to the Moderators).
If it was set up, and submissions were requested, we would get a good population pretty quickly. I know I would be glad to submit a few dozen right off the top of my head.
With all the new hires over the next couple of decades, it would be a big asset.

My take home with 75hrs credit with per diem and no medical or dental coming out was 3200. I also don't pay state taxes and when I pick up medical next year it will be lower.
