Not to call out people, this type of attitude is what scheduling preys on, and uses to their advantage. They know that you would rather be getting an overnight hotel rather than staying in the crash pad. So if it means setting up a pairing that is outside someone's res schedule they will do it or making you work something suspect, so be it. It is creating a culture of acceptance contrary to what little CBA we have to protect us. It has a damaging affect on new people coming thru the door, and SC will chalk it up to past practices.

Just like the "put back on rest" deal. We have fought hard here to put that one on ice even though we lost the arbitration on that case with the company. Until people start standing up to CS we will still have them calling us on our day's off to do crap that will end up screwing the next guy. It is a collective effort. There are no "positive" experiences at this company on reserve. Sorry to say.
