Not if you are on RES. you might "request" a specific rotation, but like the rest of the contracts regarding RES, it is the schedulers discretion. This is one of the reasons RES sucks so bad. If you are on RES, and they assign you a trip that you are legal for, you have no grievance to file. If they run you out of sequence, maybe. But that is hard to tell due to the buckets, and the res availability list containing no real information.
This part of the contract needs to change. Should, might, attempt, try, and may are words that need to be deleted from the contract.
