If you bid a regular line and then are rerouted, there should be at least a reserve day credit on top of the trip value. BECAUSE YOU ARE FORCED into reserve at that point and seniority means nothing because they don't reroute in seniority order. We are all fodder as we transit ATL and the luck of the draw and ATL arrival time is all that matters. Yes, there should be financial reward for the pilot and a penalty for the company. And the IROPS in BFE shouldn't wipe it away.
