Example: 0600 BFE-ATL is uncovered. The only leg that would provide adequate rest is ATL-BFE departing at 1400(show at 1300). You would be due no reroute pay if the leg became open anytime after midnight the day prior.
To expound on this further: I think the way this practically works is this BFE leg goes uncovered say 16 hours prior show for the BFE-ATL leg. You are rerouted to cover it at 15 hours prior. The Company would be required to put this in open time from 15-14 hours prior. They don’t do it and just reroute you. In this case you are due reroute pay under 23L4.note.
I am saying this from recent experience and talking to two ALPA volunteers who look at ACE reports.
