LOL...here's an education on how it is at CAL: If a trip is in open time and no one takes it (including in the reserve aggressive pickup window), it is inverse assigned AT STRAIGHT REGULAR OLD PAY RATE. Premium pay??? Now that's funny. I needed a good laugh today.
However, I believe if I heard correctly our union's proposal to the company in this area regarding trip assignment is based closely on what is in the DAL contract. Until then we have the FAR book with a contract cover on it in all regards.

We already have that here, but guys are still willing to wh**e themselves out for even a few lousy bucks. What NEEDS to happen is a flat out ban on open-time pickup during a furlough. No selling back of vacations, no flying through vacations. NONE..ZERO..NUNCA..NOT ONE single trip.
