The time that I didn't bother to call and argue my case was when I proffered for RAP 2 and they gave me Standby 1 and someone junior to me got RAP 2. In both cases, it appeared to me the other guy had the same schedule constraints as I did so I don't know why they did it. Just pointing out they don't always follow seniority for reserve assignments and it's not always clear why.
Not only is this a contract violation, but this violates an arbitrator's specific ruling that seniority must be honored when awarding RAP preferences, if all else is equal.
