Apparently the definition of a junior assignment has been changed. LOA 21 states that if a pilot has to work into their say off due to weather or other events outside of the company’s control, that pilot is no being junior assigned. That pilot will receive 150% pay (Instead of 200%) for the flights worked on their day off and no compensatory day. Prior to this LOA when you worked on a scheduled day off, you got 200% pay and a comp day.

So when the company cancels your flight out of Toronto and makes you spend the night there and work on your scheduled day off, you are not being junior manned. According to scheduling, “Why would you receive a comp day just because you worked on one of your days off?”

Why would ALPA agree to this?
