Here comes that hedging language again. Im junior manned very rarely. They call it an extension or a reroute and they do it every day. Every. Single. Day. And because its called an extension it doesnt count as a qualifying event. So my 4 day trips become 6 day trips without any junior manning.

See?...SweetlittleJesus?...Those are the guys at AWAC I'm talking to when I come in like a Jehovas Witness with my Endeavor Air pamphlets lol. (Yes that is sarcasm)
There is no reason anyone should let AWAC get away with working them like dogs. Everyone else has more to offer. AWAC is the Kirstie Alley of the regional airline world!

That's when you stand up and tell them you're not doing it unless they say on a recorded line it is a junior man and you won't sign the release until you see QEE on your schedule.

Yeah, I believe an extension is when you go 2 hours beyond your scheduled release time or something of the like. Not sure how that works on reserve though. However, if you work on an off day, it counts as a junior man.

I know you guys are right but its like hitting my head against a brick wall. I went back and forth with them for a while about it and after I asked if this was a junior man for the tenth time they gave a defeated sigh and said yes. Then they sent an acars thanking me for accepting the extension.

That's what a grievance is for. If you hit the limit say no and go home.
Btw is there any speculation that AWAC will replace XJT 50 seat feed for Delta? Seems like they're loseing them right when y'all will have some becoming available.

Not trying to sing praises but that 50 seat flying is going to endeavor. It's no secret either. Atl or rdu base has all been but announced; announcment speculated before spring. Our CEO announced the planes in his holiday video to the company. Sorry to burst any ones bubbles
