Once in a blue moon a trip constructed by crew scheduling has a coding error or is built with something illegal in which case the computer won’t award it. This has happened to me and resulted in a nice paycheck.

5-G-2 Schedules shall contain a minimum of five (5) hours pay value, averaged, for each day in a Trip. This provision does not apply to publicity and courtesy flights. If a Pilot was assigned or reassigned to be released from a Trip before the start of a day, and if in the Actual Operation he is released after the start of that day but before 0400, that day shall not be included when calculating the pay value in this Section 5-G-2.

Reviving this thread again. I've read through the handbook and PWA, and I'm certain I used to know this but have forgotten...
How does the reserve coverage formula work for a straight PD? Cumulative, or day-by-day?
