I am not sure why I should burden the Contract Admin folks with useless paperwork after I got paid in the first three instances. All of your conversations with scheduling are recorded, there is an automatic trail. If you don't trust your Chief Pilot, send an email so there is a paper trail. If you ask Contract Admin, they will tell you they don't really need to hear about every reroute you are given or every time scheduling cuts a corner. Believe it or not, we somehow have managed to work through an outstanding record of enforcing the contract without swamping the CA folks with useless paper trails. If CA needs more paperwork, they will send out an alert asking pilots for it.
