I don't want to muddy the waters on this though, so I'll agree with you that a RES in example 6 is definitely still not on an X-day when duty ends on day 4. And I know that the reroute actually began on day 4.

Here's what does NOT make sense to me though. I'm going to make the language more plain by removing the outline format and just read the sentences straight:

L8:
plus single pay no credit for any duty period(s) that extends beyond such time limitation.
L9
plus single pay no credit for any duty period(s) that extends beyond such time limitation AND into either into an X-day or line day off.

So check the logic for me.
L8 has only 1 requirement to pay for a duty period: >4 hours.
L9 has 2 requirements: >4 hours AND into X-day(or line day off).

So since we're chopping it up by duty periods, WHY is the REG pilot paid L8 pay for day 4 when the rerouted duty period on day 4 actually finished EARLIER than originally scheduled? THAT duty period did not pass the logic test of >4 hours from above.

(P.S. I'm not trying to screw pilots on L8. I'm trying to understand what's keeping RES from getting L9 here.)
