    What to do

    1. 1Check that your pairing ended after 0359 Base Local on your day off, because of a delay.
    2. 2Decide which you want: the 4:12 pay, or a mutually agreed day off.
    3. 3Put the request in within 48 hours, on the forum the Company provides.
    4. 4If the day was PTO or VPTO, check the credit went back into your bank.
