Varies by airline and even within airlines it may vary between reserve, linehlolders, premium pay and striaght pay trips.
In other words its extremely complicated - good contracts will pay protect Pilots at 100% pay. Some of the lower end contracts have no pay protection so cancelling a flight could cost the crew big $$$$$.
Sorry but no easy answer to your question.
