Pilots required to layover at a Blue City on a Special Pay Day, but do not fly, will receive four hours

The first part is crystal clear. Fly on thanksgiving; get double pay. So the 2nd part about the sit....does that mean if the trip credits 20 hours, I'll actually get paid 24????

Ugh. I just saw in the FSM, all RSH days are considered short call! I don't know how I missed that before.
So I'll be working 16 days (with 10 being SCR). A reservist for November is working 17 days (they got 1 prl)....and they can get LCR. This hybrid might not be as good as I thought. Oh well, no one to blame but myself; should have read the FSM more carefully.
Last question/comment...and I think I know the answer. If I will be doing all SCR, I assume I am not eligible for REL????

Completely normal. They book everyone for 7/8 days at first, and then once you bid for an A/C and a break (if offered) they will finalize your hotel reservations.

This month I tried to move a Reseve day to a previously PTOd day, and it denied me.
