I got assigned a DP on a VTO about a year ago, but I didn't know that the company wasn't supposed to do that. Giving the new hire the benenfit of the doubt, maybe he also does not know this and should contact the company/union to resolve it.

The only way you can be assigned a disputed pairing other than on reserve status is to specifically request the pairing by number on a VTO request, voluntarily under VLT/DFT or some kind of make-up. This includes using the general MU or VLT request. If the trip fits your request you can be assigned it.

Exactly, there were many, many DP's left over after Secondary lines were constructed for us (reserve/commuters) to pick up in open time. Perhaps ALPA could resend information via email or mail to emphasize the importance of not volunteering for these trips? But I am sure that has already been done many times over. Beating the stick....
