A regular pilot may not be rerouted: prior to the airborne departure of the first flight segment of his rotation.

What you stated: You are sitting in the seat for the first leg of the rotation. Checklists done, just chatting. 20 minutes from push and you get re-routed. Like get up leave the jet you are on to go to another gate and operate a different trip...That should have pushed 10 minutes ago.
Your rotation was not delayed and you were rerouted into a rotation that reported prior to yours. Illegal on both accounts.
Exception 2 applied to my case. So nothing illegal about it.
You assumed that they were different report times because I said the other flight was late. It was late as they had been trying to find an FO. We both had an 0820 departure time. We were running early. The PHX flight finally went out albeit about 3.5 hours late.
Dig thru my post history, this happened in May. I posted it here in one of the threads and NuGuy said to make sure to contact the union. I did and they looked into it no violation, just the pay part. The re-route was legit.
So how many 9E people are we going to get from the flow before it is shutdown? Also, what if someone in that flow had previously interviewed with us and failed the interview? I guess that doesn't matter in the flow? Lots of questions about this.
I forget, are we still in contract negotiations???
