The definition of Junior assignment hasn't changed since the original JCBA was signed. If you looked at the definition of a Junior Assignment or extension and the examples below it, you will always see that it does not include weather or mx delays that were out of the company's control. The union negotiated to get the operational delay into a day off so we didn't get shafted completely. Until LOA 21, we got nothing but straight pay. Now the company is required to try to get us home, pay us 150% and if we get back after 1700 local than a comp day.

They negotiated LOA 21 after enough people including myself got completely screwed.
