You can not be told to fly into your days off. The only way you will fly on days off is for unforeseen circumstances. For example the hurricane last year in IAH we had crews stuck there because there was no way to get them out. With the new TA these pilots would have made a butt load of more money than what they did because of the wording in the TA.
A gate agent can’t assign additional flying all they can do is tell you to contact crew scheduling. So that is where you decide if you want to do that or not. Positive contact is still the same in the TA as it is in the current contract.
