Spend an hour on hold with Scheduling. Then proceed to the local airport eatery to take a month off their life-span.

If it's the last turn I go home (skipping Step 1). If not....

....I always skip Step 1 and go directly to Step 2. They know how to get a hold of me if they really want to talk to me.

High five the rest of the crew, then go get food or take a nap.

We get "pay-protected" which means you get paid for the cancelled legs. If it is just a "turn" (eg ATL-JAX-ATL) you will probably pick up the rest of the trip as it was originally scheduled.

If it happens away from base, you may find yourself being dead-headed to some other point to rejoin your original schedule, or they may amend the rest of your schedule to something else, paying you the greater of the two trips (either your regularly scheduled trip, or the new assignment).

At our company, you can be "re-assigned" to a different pairing, but it must finish up in base within two hours of your previously scheduled finish time, and if it involves ATL overnights, they will put ommuters up in a hotel.
