Per APA's contract comparison, if DL assigns you additional duty periods extending into your days off for situations within the company's control you get 200% pay. They don't get an additional day off, they just replace the day off they lost. AA delays the return to duty time, which is different than a whole day adjustment.

APA's contract comparison makes no mention of reassignment pay for UA. I don't know if they can't reassign or if there's just no pay bump.
Slice just sent you a PM. I'm about a month late. Apologies

AA LINE HOLDERS GET REASSIGNMENT PAY ONLY. NOT RESERVES.
AA RESERVES DO NOT GET SIT TIME CREDIT INTO GTD LIKE LINE HOLDERS DO.
I've done numerous reassignments on reserve at the end of 3 day trips. Line holders added turn gets 150% Reserve gets nothing.
AA reserve does not get 30 off in Base.

I bid short call reserve. At least every other month my moveable's are in moved or flown into.

Disclaimer: I do not know if UA or DL reserves get premium for RA.

Reserves are not pay protected for a sequence either. I had a few legs canceled on my 4 day trip, mid sequence. Credit went down by 32 minutes from original.

Thanks for the actual info. Need someone to counter all the BS slice throws around.

JetBlue contract comparison says DL reserves only get premium if they're reassigned into their X days 'for situations within the company's control'.

Based on that wording it seems like DL can reassign you to work into your days off. For that you get PM. It appears, based on that statement, that reserves might not qualify for reassignment premium pay.

"If you're used into a day off the time of is given back to you. The pay is 150% for the time outside of the original footprint."

It's not B.S. I just spoke with the contract administrators. If you're reassigned(not rescheduled) past noon on your day off you get PM for the flying done that day.

You then get 48 hrs(or 72, or 96) from the end of your new debrief time.

7576Fo was correct about line holders vs reserves and my post was poorly worded. Line holders get pay, reserves get GTD credit for reassignments.

But reserves reassigned into their days off, past noon, get PM for the flying done that day. That appears to be the same setup DL has.

Good luck understanding that from reading Section 15.I, 15.J, 15.N, and 15.Q.

Who cares? It's unacceptable. Don't make excuses for bad parts of our contract. Just concede that this is a crappy part of our contract. It's a mindset that reserves don't matter.

Okay, it's a bad section of our contract. Show a contract that pays reserves premium for reassignments? Is that common? That's why I say being a reserve is a 'volunteer', there's no reassignment pay, overfly pay. But they're covered by guarantee until their GTD exceeds guarantee, at which point they are paid for previous overflies. Which used to result in a pay cut at times since the pay was based on the 767-300. Break guarantee and you got paid actually block hours, so every 757 or 767-200 flight reduced your pay.

I must be losing my mind. If you are a reserve, that is your job duty. Your sole job is to plug holes. Why do you deserve additional pay for just doing that job? If you are on call for six days, and they give you a 3-day trip that turns into a 4-day, why in the world do you guys think a reserve should get EXTRA pay for that?!?

I would much, MUCH rather put money into our contract where it actually matters vs. arcane thoughts like the above.

I agree if you're on reserve 6 days and get assigned a 3 day that turns into a 4 then yea, no premium. But if you're reassigned into a day off then you 100% need to be getting premium. Use me however you want while I'm on duty but don't move my off days around. This is the world'a largest airline, not Mesa, although it feels like it sometimes.
