time card shows 4:02 of qslip pay. Despite day 1 and 2 being X days (with a redeye).

Did I F myself because of the redeye? RRPY pending still. But the qslip pay being 4:02 seems off.

Probably. It depends on when your report time was on day 2. It is based on your base time, so if it was after 2200 SLC time, then you did not have an FDP (and no pay) on day 2.

Thanks. Yeah just figured 2h DPM went towards it. But I guess that’s credit and just gets tied to the end. Lesson learned. Never again.

Yeah, unfortunately DPM gets paid out on the last day.

Should still get 2 PB days

Put it in your contract surveys that reserves should get the full value of any premium rotation paid on top of reserve guarantee regardless of whether the underlying days are an X day or LC day.

Didn’t the contract survey close like 3 months ago?

Yeah, with PB days still in play (regardless of the current state of how we can use them) that’s not going to be a thing.

Why not? It's as reasonable an ask as many other items. And if I recall correctly AA has that setup where reserves get full premium pay if a trip starts on an off day.

AA does not get payback days.

I know. I wasn’t talking about PB days. Yes our systems are different but there’s no reason not to have the best of both worlds. It has a negotiating cost if we want it, just like everything else we are asking for.
