Yes. Click on every day of said rotation (it's usually on the last day because that's where credit and other soft pay pays out). It will be buried in there in one of the "pay only" rows, rolled in with any EDP, SIT, etc. The other way to know is by looking at the pay lines before clicking. If you do the math at the applicable rate, one of the lines will be overpaid by 5:15.

To be clear, I am referencing the iCrew pay statement.

I'm aware, but OP was talking about needing someone right now, so scheduler can always execute Order 66, I mean 23.M.7, pay protect a pilot, and utilize someone on VAS to get them ASAP'ly if they feel they can't wait for the 2'ish hour GS pilot to make it there.

Somehow I got unsubscribed from ALPA texts (bid window open/closing etc). Anyone know how to sign up again. I can’t find it on the DALPA site.

Don't screw over our passengers. There's plenty of pilots in base who are chomping at the bit to do this. The whole airline ain't about you.

(This isn't contract advice. 2 hours is reasonable, IMHO. OTOH, big picture. One pilot, at least 3 FA's, and 150+ passengers are waiting on you.)
You assume too much. While it may be true that another pilot could get there earlier... it could also be equal or worse to let it move along. Maybe it takes a long time to move down the coverage latter, or they RR a pilot who isn't even close to landing yet.

I just did a flight where it was an 1100 dept, but it was delayed a bit for the lack of another pilot. I checked iCrew, saw it got awarded on the Daily Trip Coverage as a GS. I texted the pilot (now showing up in Micrew) just letting them know I'd have everything taken care of, no rush. They replied, "oh Arcos auto acknowledged but I rejected it". It then took another 2hrs just to bounce from one pilot to the next in ARCOS doing the same thing. Finally had another pilot take it, and we were 3hrs late before they arrived. If the original pilot rejected it with the mentallity you espoused (reject it and let someone closer take it), they actually made things worse.

Don't over think it. Would CS bypass pilots sitting SC and cover it as a GS to get it out faster? No! So if last minute trips are good enough to assign to pilots sitting SC, than accepting a GS with SC callout is 100% correct.

That helps. Doing the math reveals the hidden 5.15, thx. For some reason I thought it would show up on a separate line.

DALPA main page. Scroll down to bottom where they have the DALPA address. Below that you see hot links for Facebook, X, YouTube then what looks like an ipad or phone. Click that link and you can sign up there.

It’s not working for me neither and I already sign up for it again. I switched from ATT to TMobile, everything works, except the Alpa text, which fun fact are the one I really want to received.

speaking of holiday pay…if you are removed from the rotation, I assume you lose holiday pay. Is this correct?

Correct. Actually have to work that day to get the extra pay.

Interesting. I switched to T Mobile a couple of months ago too and just realized I wasn’t getting the texts anymore.
