Nope. Your carry in will always go to "pay back" any conflict drops of that month, up to the point you are guaranteed at least the original line value of that month. So if you carry in 10 hours on days off (1st and 2nd) but they drop the 3rd-7th (worth 20 hours), you will not be paid the extra 10 you carried in on top of the 20 hours dropped for conflict. You will get the 20 in full for the conflict. You cant go below original line value for the month.
Now if you carried in 20 hours on off days and they dropped a trip with a conflict of 12 hours, the 8 hours difference would be added on top of the original line value. Its why carry in conflicts wont pay as well as a conflict that is created with a block of days ending on the previous month. With carry in days, you essentially have to work those hours to go against the hours they are dropping for the conflict.
I copied the FastRead addressing this and the magic formula that should be used to figure the correct credit.
Transition Pay
There have been many questions on how transition pay works and some misconceptions. The first misconception is that carry-in hours on days off is always paid above line value. This is not always correct.
So how is transition pay done? It depends on whether you use the Default Transition Option or the Elective Transition Option. But you can use the formula:
NLV = OLV – TD + TA + CI
NLV – New Line Value
OLV – Original Line Value
TD – Trips Dropped
TA – Trips Added (or reserve added use 4.0 hours per reserve day) CI – Carry-in
Default Transition Option
NLV = OLV – TD + TA + CI
Now you just fill in your particular situation and compare the OLV and NLV. Whichever is higher is your new line value for the month. The standard rules apply when the final schedule is published. If you over block on a trip, pick up extra flying on days off, or trade trips, you will be paid above your NLV, assuming your trip trade was a net increase.
Example:
Carry in 13 hrs on 1st & 2nd (days off)
OLV = 84 hrs
TD = 15 hrs
TA = 0
NLV = OLV – TD + TA + CI
So your formula should look like this:
NLV = 84 – 15 + 0 + 13 = 82.
The NLV of 82 compared to the OLV of 84. You receive the highest of 82 verses 84, so your New Line Value is adjusted from 82 to 84 and you start the month out at 84 hours. In this case, the trip drop was more than the carry-in, even though it was on days off. The end result is a net loss of two hours, but in this example, you would be pay protected to the original line value of 84 hours. If the carry-in was on days on, the outcome would have been the same.
If they added a trip or reserve day you could very easily have been higher than your original 84.
For example:
Carry in 13 hrs on 1 & 2 (days off)
OLV = 84 hrs
TD = 15 hrs
TA = 4 hrs (reserve day)
NLV = OLV – TD + TA + CI
84 – 15 + 4 + 13 = 86
Now you compare the 84 to 86, and you start the month with a New Line Value of 86.
TA's in this formula are trips scheduling adds correct? Not what you pick up on dropped days?
