(23 L. 7.) In other words, if they can find another pilot to fly your reroute and get you back to base in time, they are required to do so.

OTOH, being rerouted into a vacation day(s) can be a pretty good deal, depending upon the circumstance. (7 F. 8.)
In my experience they don't really seem to make a reasonable effort even when i've told them its my golden day etc.. I just don't see why the crew trackers don't have that info anyway-seems pretty dumb to me.
