Line holder.
I've never asked for a reroute but I've prayed to the reroute gods for them on particularly awful rotations.

This, better than 50% of my rerouted have worked in my favor on crap rotations.

Lol understood.

I'm actually starting to get decent rotations (not better built, just getting senior), which only means I spend the rotation with a twitch every time I hear the ACARS message chime, fearing a reroute.

And the FO asking for reroutes need to be wall to wall counseled.

Agreed we are our own worst enemy.
Trying to understand the ins and outs of this situation…

If our contract had reroutes past one FDP as proffers at 200%, how would that be looked at by the consensus?

What is the difference between reroutes for the contractual one fdp, then accepting a GS the next day?

This would be following the PWA because that GS would have been run through the coverage process and awarded to the correct pilot. Great if that happens to be the same person who was extended yesterday, but likely not the case. What's mentioned above is someone privateering outside the contract for their own benefit, an especially bad look right now.

I've flown with guys who do this every week and usually they get something. The problem is that it takes a gs or ws away from other pilots and they don't get pay protected because no one knows about the illegal reroute. If you choose to fly an illegal reroute at least fill out an ACE to get the correct person pay protected.

That's because you are junior, there is only one way a reroute can go. Wait until you have seniority and you are getting slammed with bottom garbage.

They are doing it for extra money and more guys are starting to do it because it pays so well. From what I've seen, scheduling is glad to give it to them.

Thanks for the reply. The trip coverage part is a good point
