I will defer to tennis on this because he is on top of it, but I don’t believe that day 1 should pay GS. The specific wording in the PWA is for long call reports within 18 hours.

whatever happened, it worked. I called, they changed it from a G to an F, and suddenly I get two hours and 43 minutes of gs pay. If this is in fact, not a fluke, it’s pretty wild that we don’t have an automated system to cover this. if I hadn’t asked the Interwebs I would be out about $1000 plus.

Why did you not submit an STS Inquiry?

I found it on the statement it was supposed to be on.

Any time a pilot has a pay issue the first step should be to try to rectify it with the company. A simple phone call is all it takes to get scheduling to switch the code. Why bother with an STS?

Inquiry is not a report. Submitting an inquiry would answer the question of if it's due pay.

The pay code relating to a reserve GS with less than 18 hours to report is completely unrelated to any specific step of coverage in either N or O. Read page 48 in the SRH. It specifically lays out an example where a pilot can get an F code GS more than 18 hours from report.

Like I said I end up with about 2 F code GS per year. Normally scheduling codes it wrong at the time of award. This last time they coded it correctly and I was pleasantly surprised. I have no doubt that pilots have left money on the table because it was coded wrong and the pilot didn’t know it should be fixed.

That’s a part of the reason I’m so adamant in posting on this issue. But its nature calling it a GS with less than 18 hours to report is confusing and people get stuck up on the 18 hour part. I think the language should be changed to call it a GS “with an ineligible report time” or something like that to decouple it from the strict 18 hour number.

I’ve seen schedulers accidentally code reserve assignments as white slips and I’ve even seen them code a green slip as a 23K recovery.

don’t trust the system.
