Agree. I've never had it happen to me personally. I've gotten plenty of green slips where I was on call day 1, and had days off following. Maybe this is something that we should look into during the upcoming negotiations.

In my opinion, you should never be required to fly on your days off, with the exception of a reroute outside of the companies control. I think the above reference in the scheduling handbook would give one plenty of leg to stand on in the previous example.

"Yes, I understand that I'm on call today, and I'm ready to fly today. However, My wife is working tomorrow on my scheduled off day, and I do not have child coverage. I'm very sorry as I would love to help you out."

Now when they call back as a GS proffer, "Miraculously, I've found some child care coverage, and will gladly take this trip as a GS!"
