I got rolled into a 4-day GRU from 27-30th. With a morning arrival on the 30th. Luckily it happened the after UPA 23 DOS because I got 5:15 add pay for day off interruption….
Right, can still get rolled if the trip they are assigning you has a 30+ hour duty break on the layover!

Yup, that GRU snuck up me. It’s all good, I got add-pay from it. I would have been more ****ed about it if the company got a freebie. Should be getting a premium override for an entire trip if a RSV is rolled vs add pay in my honest opinion…

Pre UPA-23, once the 1045-11am trade run is completed, give scheduling a call and ask.

What made you APU the 3-day LHR in a 6-day silo? I bid (basic) reserve about 10 months a year, so I'm always interested to hear other peoples' strategies and thought processes on reserve. And if it was just to get out of the house or something, I totally get that too. Just curious.
