My takeaway from a briefing by the scheduling committee to an LEC meeting was that essentially we as pilots don’t have the tools to know if reroute pay is due. Is that not true? How is one ever sure WRT reroute? Naturally I can evaluate the return-to-base delay trigger defined via PWA, but not the timing of a leg becoming uncovered (relevant for grievance settlement reroute pay NOT defined via PWA). It is this type of reroute pay trigger that spring-loads many of us to hit ALPA scheduling with a request to investigate if Delta scheduling is unhelpful.
I’m hopeful that an ALPA rep embedded in scheduling (as Delta should have allowed years ago) will nip much of this in the bud.
