No. No rotation guarantee for RES.

As RES, it could be a 4-day GS rerouted into a 2-day GS and you'd only get paid for the 2 days you flew. Or, if it's a 4-day RES GS that goes completely No-op, you'd either get nothing, or maybe 2:00 suit-up pay if you showed for it.

Just had a 13 hour between block and edp cut to under 10.

Of course "we don't have to pay RES RR pay" when I called you ask where's my 23L4 pay for the 2 hour day 1 RR and 4.5 hours on day 2.

I know they're wrong. They know they're wrong. But now we get to wadte 4+ man hours between me, CS, CA and ALPA. But me and ALPA are unpaid.

Incredible.

My favorite response from PA recently "that was recovery due to cancelled leg, no RRPY due"...yeah, you know, that RES pilot rotation guarantee recovery!
"2nd review" untouched for over a week.
And it ain't even "summer" yet...

If it No-ops and you suit-up, do you get a Pay Back day?

The reasons not to fly a GS on reserve just keep building.

If you're due suit-up pay and it's a IA/QA/GS on an X-day, yes. PWA 23.S.13
