Default Missed trip

Had my first one recently. Got bumped off my two flights. Gave scheduling a heads up when I was on my back up and they didn't want to ps me since they said they had coverage.

Anyway, is there any protocol for giving the CP office a heads up? Or should I let them contact me if needed? It was marked as a MT (missed trip), is that the appropriate notation? How does it pay or not? Thanks

The CP notification used to be mandatory. Don't know now-a-days, but maybe not a bad idea as he/she can help you make up the pay...which you will lose.

You should have rode the Tiger to work brother. \m/ (sorry, saw your avatar and thought it was appropriate advice).

Hell of an industry benefit indeed. The rest of the world doesn't get such discretion when it comes to getting to work.

Doesn't pay....you just lost that trip.

However, you can always try to pick up something else to make up for it.

Actually it's a hell of a union negotiated contractual benefit.

A big chunk of the rest of the industry doesn't get such discretion when it comes to getting to work---or at least I didn't get such benefits when working at my previous non-union carriers as the first missed trip was the bottom rung of the disciplinary chain.

While this was a "policy" the entire time I have been here, it was a huge "get" to have it codified in the contract (21-P) in the last negotiation

Indeed, but pilots only avoid missed trip discipline when the contract/FOM is followed to the letter.

Commuters do well to know the language and how to apply it during a commute when things start to fall apart.

Agreed.

Without a contract a "policy" is simply the current whim.

"shall" vs "may"

I had the first one of my career last year. No big deal, however I did get ahead of it and talk to the CPO. They really couldn't have cared less. Just said not to make a habit of it.
