    This one trips people up

    Reschedule pay and Junior Assignment pay are different provisions with different rates. Compare the original scheduled pairing (OSP) against what you actually flew — that comparison is what the pay is built on.

    What to do

    1. 1Work out which happened: your pairing was Rescheduled into the day off, or you were junior assigned onto it.
    2. 2Save the original scheduled pairing (OSP) and what you actually flew.
    3. 3If it was a Reschedule with a layover into the day off, the extra day pays 4:12 or actual credit outside the OSP, whichever is greater.
    4. 4If flying was added that duties off after 0015 on your day off, you can declare UJA for the rest of that day.
