Based on our negotiated contract... We are Pay-Protected for our trip once we start it.

So... for example... let's say we start a 4 day trip worth 22 hours of flight time... and two legs totalling 6 hours of flight time get cancelled... then we still get paid the 6 hours for those legs.

However, we also get paid if we go "over" our scheduled block time. So... let's say we are departing on a leg blocked for 2:30... now let's say we had to wait 25 minutes for takeoff due to ATC/weather-enroute and then we had to hold for 30 minutes prior to landing at IAH... So we land 55 minutes over block... now we have 55 minutes of additional pay or "overs" that we would add to the 22 hours of the original pairing.

So now our pairing value just jumped to 22:55 even though we had 6 hours dropped due to a cancellation.

Does that make sense?
