Reading the contract it seems that may have been a contractually illegal reroute since we traversed our base in the middle of the reroute. Also, am I due pay for the reroute as a reserve? What’s the best course of action here? Not seeing anything on my time card and the trip is showing closed.
Flying through your domicile on reserve is compliant. If you were rerouted into a break in duty (layover) in your domicile, you can ask to be released. But, you have to make the request at the time of the reroute, otherwise you are stuck staying on the trip. See 23. L. 3.
Other than that, unless you were rerouted more than four hours into an X day, I don't think any extra pay is generated.
CORRECTION: After reading latest info, I think reroute pay may apply. I thought these applied only to lineholders, but apparently reserve also? Look up Scheduling Alert 23-12 for more detail:
Effective with the August 2023 bid period, a pilot (regular or reserve) who is rerouted will receive under Section 23 L. 4.:
• One half pay, no credit for each rerouted flight segment (operating or deadheading) prior to the first break in duty following the reroute, in addition to any other form of pay for each such flight
• Single pay, no credit for each rerouted flight segment (operating or deadheading) after the first break in duty following the first rerouted flight, in addition to any other form of pay for each such flight
• Single pay, no credit for any subsequent rerouted flight segment (operating or deadheading), including pilots who were returned to their original rotation and then rerouted again, in addition to any other form of pay for each such flight
