Any schedule change results in the entire rotation paying 150% if you get rerouted a second time it’s 200%. If the reroute is simply taking a 4 day and turning it into 3 or less you get paid the rotation credit as a guarantee. Some of that is pretty similar to what Southwest has. Instead we’ve got dozens of paragraphs and examples of you get pay no credit and a whole litany of other BS that shows up on different lines of a time card, but I already know what you or others will say the company would never agree blah blah blah. I’ve heard this for a decade plus it’s nothing new. Instead it just ends up being a whole lot more work for both sides to figure it out to the minute what someone is owed.
Again, the fact that it’s multiple lines on the time card, or has to be combined from different sources, is due to the company’s implementation and interface. RR pay could very well be on a single line, and/or in a single source showing the pay by the leg, but the company doesn’t care to invest in the most basic of IT. That does *not* mean that a lousy provision (and lousy language) was negotiated.
