Can’t speak for fish for fun but yeah I am not NYC based and have spent my 5.5 year DL career on the old AirTran workhorse. So this AE something is gonna change. Not sure what I’m gonna do though.

such a novel concept...
I will say I’m almost positive there is no way their deal would have passed here. But our flight ops management was Adversarial from day one while ALPA and management seemed to be working more together there. that’s just an outsiders perspective, could be totally wrong.
I wonder if our leadership had worked constructively with ALPA and exhausted other measures (cough *what’s a SIL* cough) if our group would have been willing to talk ALV cuts.

Company must be cashflow positive again as Inverse assignment with Conflict and Greenslip with Conflict are being handed out like Candy. Profit Sharing 2021 has arrived for plenty of folks with availability

I don't disagree that reroutes suck, but your pipe dream is about as likely as me playing in the NFL. The only one you might get close to is the shortened layover by more than 2 hours.
I'm not being a company guy here, but if they had to pay all those things at double pay, they would have no flexibility and it is necessary for them to have some to run the airline. BUT... they have abused it no doubt. What if those reroute legs were pay no credit? It might amount to the same thing actually, so it might not work either. It was just off the top of my head. It would be an interesting discussion.

Management can’t stomach the idea of reserve pilots being “paid to sit at home”... some day they may wake up to the fact that that is actually a necessity for schedule integrity.

The double pay for all of those things only gets expensive if you aren’t properly manned. I see such double pay penalties as financial incentive to actually carry adequate reserves - and THAT is where the company gets the flexibility to run the airline. They currently believe they have the flexibility to just plus up on premium pay to cover IROPs, holidays and other anomalies (e.g. covid vaccination NFLYs), but I think this pending fourth holiday disaster of evidence of their error.
