I don't think you're missing the point. I think you are smarter than that. I believe you are intentionally ignoring the fact that the issue is not whether you or I or any other pilot is savvy or senior enough to avoid contractual loopholes that the company inserts in our PWA.
The issue is why do we continue to allow any loopholes in ADG, reroute pay, etc... We need to protect
ALL pilots, not just the senior ones who can bid to avoid the screw job. Your opinion may differ.
