Me neither. Your time on the 717 has skewed your picture. Outside of stormageddeon I haven't been rerouted once in the past year on primarily domestic ER ops, once a month is fairly substantial. International guys probably cant even spell reroute.
Btw, I'm happy to work more on a trip when it results in rr pay. My reroute luck mostly resulted in shorter layovers in less desirable locations for no extra $$$. What's the point of seniority based bidding when tracking can essentially abrogate your seniority beginning on leg 2 and it doesn't cost the company a dime in most cases if they get you home in time. Glad to hear it's 'only' once a month now. Even so, I think any deviation from your awarded trip should result in rr pay.
