They took a 2 day trip out to PHX and made it a 1 day turn. Totally legit. They can reroute you after sign in and BEFORE you operate your first leg of the original rotation.

You do get paid well for it and it is not a section 23 issue in my case. That only comes in to play during IROP, which we were not under at the time of the re-route.

It's not tag on flying either.


And sailing, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a QOL kinda guy. I burned the candle at both ends in my 20+ years of military flying. I'm done with that.

I bid a QOL type schedule. That is why I get really chapped when I get re-routed (which happens often) out of the blue (e.g. no IROP).
