In all fairness, he is a good guy and I have worked with him a lot. We were both laughing and he didn't mean it in a mean-spirited way.
But, it's true.
What do you think the outcome would be if I was to refuse a trip starting in ONT or BUR, for no other reason than "It's not my base."? Flowers, maybe?
I think banger has the correct answer. No you are not required. Hummmm you have a good question! What if you refused? That I'd need to ref the Sked manual, if you have what does it say?
I have no doubt that you have been called I think you should be receiving JA pay and expense to travel. I have received no less when called out in my Blue City. Just because you are on reserve shouldn't mean you are fair game to be manned at other SoCal cities.
I know your CP has complained @ this in NY, have you spoken with him @ this situation? What did he say?
I'm interested in this kind of stuff, not that you are being used around the LA basin but that you may not be being compensated as JA with expenses.
