In any case it is a violation of the PWA and requires the remedies described above. The company is gambling that the pilot is unaware or unwilling to pursue the remedy. All this can later be argued as precedent setting. The lack of information scheduling is willing to discuss and refusal to remove the trips is seen as a directive from higher and a "press to test" inititive. They are playing a game to nullify the PWA. If you refuse to participate, you lose. Now, because of schedulings refusal to comply the remedy is only able to be applied if ALPA is aware and the incident is documented.
