This is the type of thing that backfires every which way.
The company’s just gonna say screw it no more deviating. I don’t care how any of you try to spin it, deviation on deadhead is a benefit for pilots.
trying to get paid reroute pay because you’re originally scheduled deadhead canceled, etc. is an overreach.
You're missing some math. For simplicity let's say 1 in 20 DHs (5%) get extra pay for unscheduled delays/EDP/RR/etc. So your average PWA-guaranteed DH pays 105% over the course of a career for someone who never deviates (Pilot A). Now lets say there is Pilot B who deviates every DH. Their deviated DHs have the same number of delays/cancellations/extra hotels, but they are never compensated for it. So they're being penalized 5% of PWA guaranteed pay, just for flying on other metal while experiencing the same number of delays and late arrivals home, and doing something that benefits the company.
Pilot B should not get less compensation than Pilot A over the course of a career for this.
