what am I missing? Guys wanna get paid re-route pay when they literally get to go straight home and aren’t rerouted?
This is the type of thing that backfires every which way.
The company’s just gonna say screw it no more deviating. I don’t care how any of you try to spin it, deviation on deadhead is a benefit for pilots.
trying to get paid reroute pay because you’re originally scheduled deadhead canceled, etc. is an overreach.

Pilot B should not get less compensation than Pilot A over the course of a career for this.

You're missing some math. For simplicity let's say 1 in 20 DHs (5%) get extra pay for unscheduled delays/EDP/RR/etc. So your average PWA-guaranteed DH pays 105% over the course of a career for someone who never deviates (Pilot A). Now lets say there is Pilot B who deviates every DH. Their deviated DHs have the same number of delays/cancellations/extra hotels, but they are never compensated for it. So they're being penalized 5% of PWA guaranteed pay, just for flying on other metal while experiencing the same number of delays and late arrivals home, and doing something that benefits the company.
Pilot B should not get less compensation than Pilot A over the course of a career for this.

After a DH gets delayed or re-routed, and the pay guarantee shows up on your time card, it's yours. If you deviate after that, that pay guarantee should be snap-shotted accordingly (but currently, it reverts back to as-scheduled).
Also, you cannot pickup any GS that conflicts with the original footprint of the trip, even if your deviated DH makes you now legal.
You can freely pickup anything over a bought-off trip with no restrictions, so the pilot isn't really handcuffed into being short-changed.
