Scenario is; your flight is running late. Scheduling breaks your trip and assigns your connecting flight to reserves to keep it on time.

So does schedule integrity (on time) protect the company from untriggered reassignment pay?
“Untriggered” is when they take you off a flight that is not affected by a delay and put you on a flight that is affected. This happens in EWR all the time when an India flight runs late, they reassign the late TLV crew to India because they just showed up and the India crew goes to TLV (shorter flight). The original TLV crew is considered an “untriggered” reassignment but the original India crew is not.
