Silly? I don't think so, since if I had been operating the flight home I would have had the day off restored. So it comes down to where I was sitting in the airplane on my day off.
@ Packrat:
I would much rather have had a day off instead of the 1 hour add pay for losing my day off. Cencal are you willing to give up a day off for an hour pay?
It used to be that we had a choice of whether we wanted the day off restored or pay for it.
This was all promptly confirmed to me by the SSC. They say there will be a "Next Steps" article about it soon.
As I get older, getting time off with my family takes on greater importance, over $$. I wish that philosophy were shared by those who wrote these rules.

I know that GLOBAL line holders do not get a day off restored whereas GLOBAL reserves do. Check Section 5 for min days off and Section 20 for scheduling. It's really absurd, but it seems as though reserves get some better rules versus the lineholders, hence why I bid reserve.
Moral of the story, let's all keep track of these gotchas and remedy them in our next contract. (If we can work together).

Ummmm yes. And if he/I had turned a wheel on that last day that's exactly what would have happened. It's a creative interpretation of the contract that allows them to get away with the no day for DH.

Do we not get min day pay in this case?
4 day, min 5 hours per day = 20 hrs
Now 5 day, min 5 hours per day = 25 hrs?
I'd much rather have my day back FOR SURE... But at least 5 hrs is better than 1.5 for an hour DH.

I agree 100%. I'd rather have a day off then 1 hour of ADD pay. Memories you can keep, money will fade and can be taken.

Maybe the 777 is different but the 756 guys are being worked.
I also agree that any time lost needs to be restored as your families don't get that time back!
