Not that it is remotely the same...but, at Eagle, if our flight cancels we still get paid the block time. We don't lose our miniscule pay if a flight cancels--for whatever reason! (Although, 3 hours "call out" pay would more than cover an Eagle flight!--Well, except that DFW-SBA, or the RDU-AUS, or the ORD-NAS, or XNA-LAX, or....)
