How in the world would we prove the legs we got rerouted into were known about more than 14 hours prior?

We basically have to trust that the company will be honest and forthright. How has that been working out for us lately?

All you have to do is look at any leg of the reroute that occurs more than 14 hours out. I have many occasions where they have rerouted me mid rotation and there was no penalty for the remainder of the trip. Now you would get reroute pay on the remaining days of your trip that is different than the original rotation. We still have a ways to go to penalize them for reroutes but this is a step in the right direction.

What if they just keep the leg uncovered/hidden until it's less than 14 hours out?

I don't know the answer. I do know the company has been steadily becoming less agreeable, and we all know DALPA is in the habit of granting generous loopholes the company is happy to exploit.

I think you are thinking about just the first leg. This is for reroutes with multi legs. The remaining legs all have to be within the 14 window for you not to get reroute pay. Look at the examples that were provided on the email. If they send you a reroute on day 2 of the 4 day showing a completely different trip on day 3 and 4, then you will get reroute pay on day 3 and 4. Those days are beyond 14 hours and that was the arguement with the company.

It's something. I must say the company's interpretation was quite draconian. Further proof that "constructive engagement" is pretty much a one-way street.

Agree with others that all reroutes must trigger premium pay until back on original rotation.

Where exactly are they going to hide it? The 14 hour clock starts when the leg is uncovered. I would have to believe in unicorns before I would beleive Delta IT would find the ability to magically make a leg disappear and then reappear 14 hours prior. That would mean canceling all the passengers, no ship assignment, no flight attendant coverage and on and on.
