Depends. As a line holder I was on a 4 day where day 2 was supposed to be 4 legs to a 17 hour layover and day 3 was supposed to be 2 legs to a 11 hour layover. On day 2 en route to ATL on leg 3 they rerouted us to a new layover of only 10 hours. Then instead of getting us back to ATL and on our original rotation, they threw in a 4 hour sit and a bonus BHM turn, then back to our original rotation. We were on a block rotation and they paid us the extra block time as part of our normal pay. We were not extended a single minute on day 4. What I complained about was the extra BHM turn that was assigned to us approximately 18 hours before the turn began. That should've been put into open time and run through the gauntlet of options before just assigning it to us as a reroute. For that they gave us pay that was identified as "4F1R" as the rotation number and they gave us 2:03 which was the exact block time of our BHM turn. No reroute pay or assignment pay, just a weird line on the monthly time data. Still not sure if we were paid properly but I think I've gotten as far as my grumbling will get me.
