They call me a lot for OT on my days off, I usually say no if I even pick up. But they can't force me...
Per our CBA they can't make you work into a day off at all. The worst they can do is REA you is 2 hour later than your originally scheduled finish time on the last day of your trip. On the middle days of a trip, they can REA to they're hearts content up to the Pt 117 limits.
Remember though, you can always call fatigued, I hope this clears things up a bit.
There are plenty of issue working here, thank God this isn't one of them.
You couldn't be more wrong but that is a common misbelief here. Junior manning at other carriers isn't just being required to work on your day(s) off.
I think this belief is from not having to had worked at other carriers under different contracts.
Additionally other carriers do not have unlimited reassignment ability, ESPECIALLY without ANY premium pay being involved.
But some love trying to put lipstick on a greasy pig!!
