Someone else a few pages back alluded to this scenario eventually falls into the fly now, fill out paperwork later bucket. So I made the decision to call CS to discuss, a hail mary to maybe make them yank me off. (I knew what the end result would be). CS supervisor definately did not wish to discuss much about this, they indicated there "was an agreement with ALPA on this, they will hold the plane". I spoke with the ALPA rep on this right after I got off the phone with CS, there is no "agreement". They just want to get you off the phone and move on. STS filed along with two crew assist reports.
So everyone knows, the NC provision is essentially a non-functioning PWA lever to pull. CS'ings interpretation is very different than how it is supposed to be. This is what I learned this week.
It's still worth doing because it will essentially get you assignment pay for each time they do it to you. That will end up hurting them if enough pilots start to do it.
