Those of us that have literally made tens of thousands of $$$ on the new reroute rules and had many more days off because of the need for be properly notified understand that it is a big concession. Especially remembering working under the rules under old contracts.
It may be more complicated than you want but learn the rules and hold the line when something isn’t right. THATS how you change things, not negotiate into compliance (cough scope cough).
Edit: that does not even count EDP and sit pays too.
This! Our reroute pay is light years ahead of what we had before. Before I usually just assumed I wouldn't get anything, because most of time we didn't, or it was so small that I didn't care. I certainly didn't have any idea how to calculate it. With the new rules, not only have a made a bunch of extra, most of the trips, I can easily calculate it and it's generally been paid out correctly. The one exception was a 2 day that got royally jacked up that involved an illegal reroute. I think I have calculated it correctly and it's going to pay me more than the original trip itself. That's before I count the assignment pay. For this case, I just throw it to the pros and they get me paid. Under the old contract, I'd have gotten pennies.
