And the scheduling people I talk with on my ACE reports say the company rarely pays the 23m7 pilot without prodding.
All reroutes should be examined by ALPA anyway. They are rarely paid correctly - even when the coverage ladder is not skipped. The scheduling committee is trying to get to that point. They already encourage every rerouted pilot to submit an ACE report.
I wouldn’t call the current system perfect at all. I’m simply saying that from a financial perspective, it’s a far greater problem for the company than it is for us. The company wants ALPA to fix it for free. I’m all for ALPA fixing it ONLY if we receive something that is closely proportional to the value of this to the company. PSC would be a good starting point.
