That was the subject of a pretty long discussion.
Right now we basically have no rules. Crew tracking can take any broken trip that comes up and run it as a reroute or send it over to crew scheduling as a "Will need pilot to cover" and then skeds put it through the trip coverage ladder.
Under this new rule any leg that comes open for any reason and is scheduled to push back in greater than 14 hours will have to go through the Section 23 coverage ladder.
This is theoretically going to reduce the number of reroutes substantially.
Scrappy expressed significant confidence the MEC will be able to monitor that process for compliance. New programming will be put in place.
Some of this stuff got pretty complex though and I may not be exactly correct. The reps were asking a lot of tough questions about this section and they really seemed to be well versed.
