"P" on the trip coverage report?
Has it always been there? What does it mean?
I just noticed that there is a column to the left of the pairing-number column labeled "P".
For the entire month of February, there're only two trips tagged with the P: both Pacific, 1-GS, 1-RES. Lot's of similar trips and coverage situations not marked with the P. ??

"P paid - if marked 'p' this indicates a non-theatre-qualified-pilot has already been paid for this trip."

Both Assignments and Awards show on the DTC.
"Assignments" is when scheduling assigns you a rotation on LC, of assigns you short call....things you aren't volunteering for.
But things like GS and YS and WS are "awards"....things you asked for.

"Technically" IA's are required, but the PWA spells out viable reasons that you may be unable to fulfill your assignment, like alcohol, unreported sickness, childcare issues, etc. so in reality they are treated almost as proffers becasue what good is it for skeds to go fishing for a pilot only to be told 10mins later, not able and start over.

Officially, No, they are absolutely not proffers. However, before the ARCOS Batch-size-swap-for-no-more-IA-outside-8-hours agreement, the company would sometimes treat them as proffers.

They haven’t actually done IA’s that aren’t proffers in years. In reality, they skip everything in contract, have computer cold call everyone, and first one to get back to scheduling gets it. This lead to pilots calling scheduling before even the GS process played out and asked for the trip. It’s not supposed to happen like this and we gave up unlimited batch sizes to eliminate it.
