Did you fly all the scheduled legs? If so you were paid for the entire rotation as published. If they had lopped off a day or lopped off enough legs that adg was lower you would have been paid gs for what you flew and “if reg” single pay for the original guarantee. If you fly as published but get in early you get the whole kit and kaboodle.

I didn't know that, but seem to remember the verbiage. We were rerouted into a DH so that lobbed off 1 live leg and it resulted in a shorter duty day and less block. In any event somehow it washed out the same.

The pay is TRP.

if you flew the legs as scheduled it pays the rotation guarantee, even though underflown. for example, last month i flew a Gs originally worth 22:38. We over blocked a few legs and were up to 23:21 mid rotation...but they ended up chopping the penalty lap off at the end of the rotation on a reroute and we finished early...the trip dropped back down to 21:03. So i got 22:38 orig guarantee + 21:03 as flown.

The ALPA guys working on it are being paid. I don't have any insider view, but I bet it takes a lot of training to get each person up to speed on the intricacies of the contract and reroutes, scheduling issues, etc.

About 8 months to get up to speed

Today I get an ARCOS callout for a next day GS with a batch size of 1. I respond that I want the trip, then log into iCrew and see the trip was already covered one minute before the ARCOS call. WTF? Are they queuing phantom ARCOS calls to get around the batch size? i.e. They load up 5 ARCOS calls with a batch size of 1 to notify 5 pilots.

ARCOS will start calling the next batch once the previous batch window closes since there is still a delay for the awarded pilot to accept the trip (I think they also have 15 minutes to confirm). When you saw it covered in icrew was there an * next to the pilots employee number showing they had actually acknowledged the trip?

Thanks for the info. I'm an AROCS novice. Yes, there was an * next to the employee number.
