Do you remember how the company handled those uncovered trips prior to agreeing that the use of PP made that unnecessary?
Answer: Without pilot concurrence.
The last recall was not delayed due to PP, it was due to outsourcing our flying to regionals and a merger. UAL used to UEX and CAL to fly UAL routes. Our pilots did not do that, management did.
Flying extra time should absolutely be avoided with even a single pilot on involuntary furlough, but be careful what we ask for going forward with covering undesirable open trips using PP.

You'd have to answer your phone for that to take place. Is that even still in the contract or are you just reminiscing?
I haven't heard of anyone getting involuntarily junior manned in ages. When's the last time it occurred?
