When "pay protected" you get what was published in the roster as a minimum.
Mostly interested in hearing how is this in Flag Carriers / Legacy airlines but also Loco.
In Ryanair it doesn’t work like that either. Regardless of the contract type, if you don’t fly you won’t get the flight pay.
Happened a few times to show up for work and having the flights removed once already in the crew room: flight pay lost and a day flushed down the toilet.
Probably fault of the Boeing MAX delays/Brexit/Crew surplus.
