Anyone interested, someone please tell me why a REG pilot gets L8 RRPY in Example #6 in the SRH (pages 162-163) for the duty period on day 4 ("D" day of that rotation) for a reroute that does NOT extend that particular duty period beyond >4 hours per "single pay no credit for any duty period(s) that extends beyond such time limitation."
This example is either wrong (which is not what I'm driving towards), or it's correct... which I feel has substantial implications to RES pilots who are rerouted into X-days.
The reason day 4 'pays' is because
a leg was removed. That triggers the 'reroute', so anything which follows that is not on the original rotation is also part of the reroute - and is why the (added) 5th day pays at 100%. L8 reaches back and doubles the trip credit all the way back to the trigger (on day 4), which is why the :40 DTY from day 4 is included in the L8 pay. The 3 paragraphs which follow the example explain it pretty well.
