Choosing to not do draft/ava is also not a violation of status quo since the contract gives you that choice. A simple google search will turn up some good info on this topic.
Previously one could buy a first class ticket without doing a mid trip deviation and the expense report people would not care. Now they care. That is a status quo violation. The contract only gives them the right to change the approvals of mid trip deviation amounts but does not give them the right to change the status quo of no longer allowing people to upgrade to first outside of getting mid trip deviation approval.
Choosing not to do draft/ava is not a violation of status quo, but encouraging others not too or lambasting those that do can get you in trouble for status quo violations and harassment respectively.
