Which is great, im glad we have it. Maybe I should try harder on getting RR'ed more often. I also bid reserve all year and try to work as little as possible so I suppose i'm just not exposed to the system like others are.
Just went and looked, I got about 60 hours of reroute pay last year. Given that a lot of my flying is almost impossible to reroute, I'm guessing many are doing much better than I did. That's an extra $25k in income for the year, when you factor in PS and 401k. I don't really go looking for reroutes, but I certainly don't get as upset as I used to, when I hear the printer fire up.
