This is covered in Chapter 9 of the CBA, there are a few exceptions listed, but basically they either have to bump a pilot or pay the Union. In fact ALPA asked for reports of such trips to help them track and ensure Compliance with the CBA. Doesn't make it any easier on those of us who would like to pick up these trips, but hopefully we can track them and make sure that ALPA gets the pay credit.
2. If a management pilot bumps a line pilot from his scheduled
trip or a portion thereof, in accordance with other provisions of
this Agreement, the line pilot shall receive the scheduled credit
hours and deviation credit, if any, for the trip, or portion thereof,
notwithstanding Section 8.C.2.a. (trips fl own).
3. If a management pilot flies a trip, or portion thereof, covered
by this Agreement and it is not possible to identify the line pilot
who would have been bumped and otherwise would be entitled
to compensation as described in Section 9.A.2. (above), the
scheduled credit hours for such trip, or portion thereof, either
shall be paid to the Association or offset against monies owed by
the Association to the Company pursuant to Section 18.C. The
value of any monies owed or offset pursuant to this paragraph
shall be determined by multiplying the number of credit hours
fl own by the average hourly pay rate system wide for the crew
status in which the management pilot fl ew.
