At issue here is that the company is attempting to retract pay if a scheduled DH falls apart BEFORE a pilot actually calls to deviate. If, on the last day of your trip, your scheduled DH is already delayed with an arrival time past midnight, your rotation will show an additional 2 hours of carve pay before you deviate. As soon as you call to deviate, that pay will disappear from your rotation. That’s a violation of the agreed-upon interpretation on SRH page 231.
"The pay and credit and per diem of a rotation will not be affected by a pilot’s decision to deviate from their scheduled deadhead."
Again, how many times does it actually happen, that they claw back a few hours from DV8 pilot? Not. often.
It's budget dust. It won't even move the 7th decimal place on the spreadsheet. The company
chooses to 'reinterpret' the PWA yet again, and is astonished when pilots get bitter and stop doing the little things,
