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?
Yes. You’ve got it.
Just for clarity, the overall “trigger” for reroute is the leg being removed. L8/9 reaches back into that 4th day to double the trip credit for day 4 and 5. In this particular case, nothing actually paid at 50% (L4), since nothing was flown on day 4, even though it triggered that day.
