Y'all will get a kick out of this reroute story. Earlier this month I whiteslipped a trip. DH SEA-AMS and fly back. Nice little 3day worth about 20:15. Next morning I go to the lobby to get the crew bus and lo and behold...............I will be the third Captain on this leg! Mind you, I DH'd over to fly this leg. There was a LCA giving a TOE... So, being the conscientious dude I am, I call the duty pilot figuring, hey, I'm just gonna DH back! Cool! But no, the inbound FLT from SLC had canceled and I got rerouted to stay in AMS another day and fly relief Captain to Detroit, layover and DH home making it a 5 day trip now worth 26:55. The good part, I got an additional 16:52 reroute pay because the reroute got me home more than 30 hrs after my scheduled trip. (International rule for RR pay that becomes 25 hrs on July 2) I got to DTW and deviated DH and went home on the same day.
