But since they've also been known to use their own cell phones, don't answer phone if you don't recognize the caller ID.

Sure, you can answer the phone and you can say no to an assignment and you can talk to you CP and, and, and, but if you just want to avoid the drama, don't answer.

There is an agreement (maybe it was a grievance) that you cannot be junior manned if you initiate the call. For example, you call to trade a trip for next week. They try to junior man you for tomorrow "while I've got you on the phone." Not allowed.
Sounds like the "Outsourcing Crew Scheduling to India" prophecy came true!
