Default fdx draft calls

called for draft twice today. the first was about 30 minutes after reading the latest O'Gram.

said NO to both calls. i mentioned the overmanning the second time. just wondering if I should've just said no and left it at that.

Default Holy crap

Here's an idea. How about we all put "I prefer to not be called" in our VIPS preferences???!!! I know I'm a bit outside the box, but jeez.

For those that need just a little be more help.....

Log In --> select VIPS --> select Crew Information --> select Draft Choice

* You prefer NOT to be called

Actually we should all have it that we want to be called, but then turn it down. If we weren't so undermanned, maybe they could hire some more folks to sit reserve at less than 4CH/day to cover the trips.

As long as we each followup with a quick email to our block reps about each trip they are drafting for.

Every time someone is called, they should call the union and have the union start tracking it.
