Once again inept management is relying on the pilot group to bail them out of their horrendous decision making. Don’t do it. If heads have to roll in management because of this complete and utter failure so be it.
For the new hire’s reading this.
YOU
DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT A JUNIOR ASSIGNMENT.
YOU ARE
100% ABLE TO REFUSE IT BY SAYING “
UNAVAILABLE”
THE UNION
HAS MADE THIS A SETTLED MATTER.
EVEN IF THEY THREATEN YOU THERE IS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS.
AND IF YOU ARE A LINE HOLDER YOU HAVE
NO OBLIGATION TO ANSWER THE PHONE.
This is straight from the Union a few years ago.

The Company recently elected to mark pilots who refuse a JA assignment as "unavailable for work" (UFW). The Company can use any code they like;your right to determine your availability is protected. We believe the Company is attempting to use this as a scare tactic to get pilots to accept these assignments to make up for a complete lack of foresight in hiring and retaining enough crewmembers to cover the flying they've accepted from our partners.”
