Scheduler made a mistake (2 other guys at the same time had the same deal happen....GS's later changed to WS...don't know if they acknowledged or not), however once I acknowledged the trip as awarded (GS) I thought it (or the $$) were mine. I have no obligation to acknowledge a WS award for next day...they have the right to remove the WS from my line after 10 minutes and move on.
IF I had kept my phone nearby after accepting the GS I would have seen the voicemail and would have called to ask what happened to the acknowledged GS. They would have explained that it was a mistake and that PWA 23.Q.13 gives them the right to take it back. I would have then accepted it as a WS. So, in a way it's interesting...They had the right to change their mistake, and I had no obligation to be reachable after acknowledging the GS. I missed their "correction" phone call and spent the next hour thinking I had a GS for today....which caused me to miss out on even the WS.
My takeaway: I now know any awarded and acknowledged GS can be taken away without pay up until 2 hours prior to report so I'll make sure I don't miss their phone calls from the time I acknowledge it until 2 hours prior.
I agree with Imapilot.....once we acknowledge an awarded trip the pay for that trip should be ours even if they remove it.

In my case, I should have known that this was an error that would be corrected since I knew I had a WS in for that type of trip. However, if someone else had the WS in and they awarded me a GS, I would not have any idea that a mistake was made. If they didn't catch the mistake for say, 24 hours or so, a guy could be well underway with his commute, childcare,etc and they could still take it away without pay. I'd like to see that tuned up some in the next contract.

I got on earlier today and saw the PS line on my paycheck. I checked my bank, and saw two pending deposits, one for my paycheck, and one for what I assume was PS...however the PS number was about 40% of the amount on the paycheck line. Is there any place you can see the breakdown of what was deducted? I should have 15% to 401K, but I find it hard to believe the other 45% went to taxes.

Probably tomorrow.
Can't see anything right now. DeltaNet is useless. I think the server is swamped.

Highest marginal state tax rate (GA = 6%)
FICA = 7.65%
ALPA = 1.9%
DPMA
For me = PS Gross - 401k - 40.55% - DPMA dues

OK...I guess it makes sense then. This is my first PS check, so I was just trying to figure out how it works. Thanks, guys!

USAA...just says "pending," but shows up in your checking account balance like it's there.
