They do whatever the F they want to do and there is absolutely NOTHING we can do. Again, you think if guys stop flying extra that will fix em. Read the JA list, there are probably 100/150 recurring names on there. That’s like 3/4%.
There are things you can do. Decline revisions (outside of 36 hours) when they refuse to pay the relevant premiums because the MD is grounded. Make your labor as expensive as possible. I have no problem with declining a revision today and working a JA tomorrow. If they revise your trip within 36 hours and you are fighting through fatigue to complete a much more exhausting trip than you bid, make the call in LBB or wherever. Sure, it sucks to get stuck out longer than planned, but that is language the company understands. The EB and NC are doing their best, but you don’t need to kill yourself moving boxes. The legal process will work itself out with regard to the company trampling the contract. In the meantime, don’t make yourself into a hostage or a statistic.
