Personally I would not use the term ORC here, actually. Not sure what drewguy did, but when I have had PQP too low, I simply wrote to MPSC saying that my ticket had airfare cost $x, and the total of all segments after flying was $y (obviously y<x), and I would like the missing PQP credited. The result was an extra line item or two with PQP adjustment and no change to my BIS.
In this case, I think the BIS is deserved, since it was actually flown. Where ORC can be very generous is if your reroute caused a reduction to BIS (e.g., due to being signed over to *A partner) — in that case, from my experience, no line item for BIS, just a silent revision upward.
