They could call you and assign you a trip for that day that could be literally any length, and you have to have your days off rolled to the end of that trip. You still have to get the same number of total days off in a month (unless they do it at the end of the month!) and you get no say in what days off you receive, or any extra pay. It’s horrible.
My question is, do you have anything remotely similar? Can your days off be messed with in such a fashion? Thanks in advance.
Negative. In our equivalent "global" fleets, the only time I've ever been worked into an off day, was when DTW shut down for most of the day due to an ice storm. We have "golden days" that are probably like UAL's holy days, though we can spread them out, but in a ridiculously restrictive way (which should be changed). But in practice, aside from the situation above, I've never been worked into an off day on our WB international fleets. The idea of rolling off days is nuts to me and something I hope you guys get changed.
