Default RRPY Question

To the PWA experts here...

Prior to sign in (about 3 hours prior) company canceled the flight we were to operate (outbound leg of a trip with only one leg out, one leg back). Then added a DH in its place at a later time, same day on a different flight number. I looked at the definition of RR in 23.A.51. To me it seems that this was indeed a reroute. Although I'm not totally certain. Also, this was more than 7 business days ago and I'm not showing any RRPY.

Question - can one of you PWA experts affirm that this is a reroute before I start the FUPM drill.

Thanks in advance.

A reroute is only a reroute after the first airborne departure. A cancellation of a leg before report is one of the PWA definitions of an IROP. Your original rotation was 23k and the new rotation you flew was your recovery obligation. No extra pay is due.

Interesting. Thank you. We normally don't get rerouted on the WB fleets. But sometimes stuff like I described happens. Also we ended up operating the return leg on our off day, all line holders. So I assume we get ADG for that on top of what we flew, or is it the greater of the 2?

You get the greater of what you fly (lor how the rotation was built. Take a look at 12.L.2.

ADG means “average” as in you can’t get paid less than 5.15 a day times the number of days of your rotation.

Not necessarily true. RES can be rerouted prior to the first airborne departure. REG need to read MOU 24-01 which addresses the 23L2a exception.

Then there is also the 23K layer. Call CS and ask what IROP was affecting your rotation, because there have also been illegal reroutes they tried to pass off as 23K recently.

Or do we just not care and need something quick to counter Alaska?
SEA-EU doesn't have to deal with Russian airspace. And to be frank, profit and loss probably doesn't play a big part in it.

This is key for REG, because they can mess with your rotation prior to departure and call it 23K. Make sure you ask and if you don’t like the answer send it to ALPA.

Definitely an air safety consideration.

I like CAPE, but prefer the more comprehensive P-CAPE. Sorry, no entertaining video. Neither do much to address risk, but can help set expectations of future returns.
