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.
If I understand you and the example correctly, the trigger for L8 is the rotation release (footprint) being >4 hours, and the pay begins with the duty period that the reroute began (day 4 (D).)
From Example #6: "Since this reroute was also scheduled to release the pilot beyond the four-hour limitation and was not subject to any of the exceptions, Section 23 L. 8. reroute pay was also triggered. In this example, that includes the block & MU time for D and E days, as well as any rotation credit due"
So if Example #6 is for a RES pilot, and day 4(D) was a LC day, but day 5(E) was an X day, would L9 pay the same way as L8? The trigger being the rotation release >4 hours AND into X-day, and the pay begins.... when?
