Unitriggered (not)
What is the definition (historically), for lost flying for “untriggered reassignment”.
Scenario is; your flight is running late. Scheduling breaks your trip and assigns your connecting flight to reserves to keep it on time. Now, you get reassigned to other flying and deadhead and says it is not an untriggered reassignment, when; you could have stayed on your original pairing ( albeit a couple hours late).
So does schedule integrity (on time) protect the company from untriggered reassignment pay?

That makes total sense.
The New Delhi flight is triggered by a delay affecting their pairing.
The Tel Aviv flight has no delay affecting their pairing, thus the reassignment is untriggered.
On a domestic pairing the operating crew that’s late inbound to a hub - “triggered”. The crew on a 3:59 productivity break at the same hub and that gets reassigned to cover the late outbound from the triggered crew is “untriggered”.

Another example would be narrow body flying into SFO. Last time I got 'untriggered reassignment pay' was BWI-SFO. We were on time, but SFO was on a melt down. There were no reserves left, and I was just going to my layover (1st leg of a 4 day). Instead I ended day 1 in Vegas, with 150% add pay for the rest of the new trip.
