discuss.

They wouldn’t pay all reroutes at premium. They would claim greedy pilots are trying to ruin their flexibility. And would cost them too much. Their ability to claim IROP over every rain cloud also needs tightened.

I didn't see any of it until I logged into iCrew a couple of hours later. 10.30 pay literally for having a pulse and a WS request in.

There's lots of this going on due to the vast inexperience of the scheduling folks. Of course for every "windfall" like mine there's serioius shortchanging going on as well. I'm not diminishing the concerns at all.

But sometimes, "with chaos there is opportunity" and sometimes their mistakes lead to some extra coin for us.

Have you ever been overpaid? Have you ever been underpaid? Which happens more frequently? They are both errors and unacceptable. One benefits the company, the other benefits the pilot if not caught. Do you see a need for change? IMHO the company doesn't.

Future reference when you’re admitting he was right maybe.

I’m curious at to what the poster meant as well.

If all reroutes pay premium, I’ll eat my hat. And then I can never wear it again. So win win.
