I was amazed on the last IROP how many pilots where picking up trips in opentime. Dude, its your day off...go home. I had a trip the next day & not captain assigned when I went to bed the next morning they had assigned an RSA captain. I reminded him that we where in contract negotiations but I don't think he gets it. On the crewbus an FO was actively picking up day turns on his day off. On my commute home an AA captain asked how our negotiations where going, I commenced complaining about people picking up trips on their days off. His advice to me was do your part & just fly your minimum every month. He said eventually more people will get on board and I hope he is correct. So until we get a contract this cat is doing the min every month.
