Now you're changing directions. Of course we pilots would all agree to that, because you are fixing the problem in a forward direction for us. The company isn't just going to throw more money at us. Their game is to reduce costs in any way possible. The company would love for us to come to them and propose items that reduce the value of our contract. Thank goodness you're not involved at the MEC level because you'd be giving up contractual provisions left and right.
And while we're at it, L.4 reroute pay actually isn't THAT complicated in most circumstances. Your average line pilot who takes the time to go through the SRH and scheduling alert detailing RR pay can figure out what they are due in probably 90%+ of the cases. There will always be some really wonky stuff that takes some ALPA specialists to untangle. And I think you and I would agree that it shouldn't be necessary for us to take our own time to verify things correctly, BUT when you are dealing with a company that operates with such disregard for the PWA then we really don't have much of a choice.
