This is correct.

For reserve, you get only what you fly. If they cut you loose early, you loose pay for that block time, but ADG and trip rigs still apply. Also Res gets nothing for a NOOP, unless you happen to sign in before it NOOPs, in which case you get a whopping 2 hours of suit up pay. But the downside of that is, you then will need 10 hours before you can re-pick up a GS...

This is one of the things I put on my survey - Establish a Reserve rotation guarantee. If I accept a GS based on an expectation, and for company convenience the company cuts me loose early/buys the end for OE, I should still get paid, IMO. Same thing would go for a simple reserve assignment, You get the Credit as soon as it hits your schedule. If you call in sick after a reserve assignment, they will dock your sick bank after all. In the end, make it simple - regardless of Reg/Res/Recovery, you get paid if you pick it up. Probably won't ever happen, but it should.

I am a line holder.

Looking at 4F1 and 4F7 it shows GS as having rotation guarantee. 23U1 talks about double pay no credit for GS rotations. No where do I see a reference to any stipulation that the double pay portion only gets paid as flown. It was built as a 3-day and flown as a 3-day. Just had 2 less legs on the 2nd day.

I certainly could be wrong and there Might be a reference buried somewhere but I couldn’t find it.

You can further get into the how you want to break down which portion (assuming you're above the GS trigger) gets paid. I prefer the 100% original rotation guarantee + 100% for the rotation you flew. You can go day by day as well, but it all comes out the same.

I interpret that to mean if you don’t fly the rotation you don’t get the double pay. Not that the rotation is only paid for the credit flown. Ive done a lot of green slips and don’t ever recall seeing my GS pay being reduced post rotation when it flew less than scheduled. I’ll update when it gets answered by the Union.

This is the way

Thanks Tunes.

I just finished another GS that blocked 30 mins less than scheduled but the GS pay stayed at the original rotation guarantee when it closed. Why was this different than operating less legs on one of the days?

because it probably still paid ADG?

Minutes Under?

This is a block-or-better air line. If you fly the leg on a GS, you get paid scheduled block or better. If you don’t fly the leg, it affects the pay accordingly (on a GS).

Hmm. I just underblocked on a GS and I'm still getting paid the original rotation guarantee. All rigs still apply.
