I know nobody would post a pay mistake in the pilots favor. But why haven’t I heard of a single instance where a pay mistake was in the pilots favor? It is always SWA that benefits in pay errors. Of the multiple errors I have found. I have never found an error in my favor. I’m either paid correctly or underpaid.

I have a new guy trip pay question. If I had a trip at the beginning of my April schedule that got taken away and replaced with a trip that now starts at the end of March and overlaps part of the dropped trip footprint, how does that pay? Do I get paid for the April trip that scheduling took away?

No.
Only trips modified in the current (lead out) month net you cash monies. The upside is 1. You are now eligible for open time priority. 2. your awarded line value for next month is now much lower to start racking up 2nd year pay off open time awards.

Those numbers don’t look like accounting mistakes. They look like intentional fraud, worthy of investigation by appropriate employment attorneys.

wage theft is a serious crime. The added problem is it can be quite pernicious.
circa 15 years ago I asked myself would I want to work for someone I had to sue in order to stay employed at in the first place? The answer was a categoric no, so I moved on, picked a prong on the proverbial fork in the road, and now within eyesight of an AD retirement. I suppose as I bend around this corner of my vocational racetrack, that question seems to become relevant yet again, judging by the anecdotes on here.
In fairness, my wife deals with similar sleigh of hands at the hospital. I guess corporate america really lives by the ol' "if you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying" those of us who depend on a medical certification for a living are quite familiar with lol.
