Um no. He should have informed crew scheds about his APD. Here is the wording from the contract:
7. Crew Scheduling will make every reasonable effort to resolve any conflict between a reroute and a pilot’s scheduled vacation or other hard non-fly day, provided the pilot notifies Crew Scheduling of the conflict.
They have no idea and they don't really care what your next day is. I would call the union and get premium pay for that turn. Next paragraph from the contract:
A rerouted regular pilot who is not scheduled to release within four hours of the scheduled release of the last duty period of his original rotation, or within the same alendar day of the last duty period of his original rotation, whichever is later, (the “time limitation”) will receive single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA, or IAWC) for the rotation as flown, plus single pay no credit for any duty period(s) that extends beyond such time limitation.
They used to do this a lot during the 05-07 timeframe on the 88 in ATL. Not enough FO's, no worries we will just reroute them. Well a lot of the reroutes ended up being paid out as double time. Tell you the truth, the company didn't care either as long as the trip got covered.
