Reroute is one of the worse sections of our contract! There should never be a reason for a pilot to "expect" to be rerouted outside of the footprint of their trip. I get the whole "beyond the companies control" B.S., but the problem is their ability to wave that B.S. in our face regularly. ANYTHING outside of a foot print of an assigned trip, be it resv or as a line holder, needs to be at double pay. There needs to be a penalty to the company for extending us and or in other words an incentive for them to get us back on time every time!
Sorry, I've been burned by the reroute bug more times than I care to admit and all was "legal" per our contract.
