Looking at my schedule this 2 day trip is showing as part of the ARC pairing. Does that matter? I thought I heard it should show as a new pairing but I don't remember why. I just need to know if its worth burning through my cell phone minutes trying to call scheduling to fix it.

Thanks
Contractually the two pairings should be counted separately (i.e. full ARC credit and full trip credit). They are two separate assignments, as that trip could not have been contractually given during ARC. You sat the full ARC time, THEN took a trip.

Also, reference the Airport Standby section of the contract:

While you did ARC before the flight assignment in your case, I think the spirit of the rule would apply to either case. But, don't go off of what I say. Contact xjtcompliance.
