Default Draft Calls

Maybe we should post every time we get a call from crew scheduling for a draft call. Seat and Aircraft. Seems like things are ratcheting up. I've only been called about 5 times in 11 years and 3 of those have been in the last couple of days. Commuter Mem MD11 FO.

Why? The schedulers are supposed to call in seniority order for the draft trip. The most effecient method of ensuring the contract is adherd to would see to be a joint tracking. How else do you see if someone junior to you was called before you were. I'm sure the company want to keep to the contract also, so they would be all in favor.

As long as the pilots that take the draft are not punished, then tracking seem like the most passive method of contract upholding we can do.

Does Kwri have a point?

What transparency is required by the company?

Can ALPA Contract Enforcement request a review of a "draft call log"?

Old heads & experts please chime in...

Don't ask me, but they deleted similar efforts in July.

In July people were posting actual trips that were being drafted. Then anyone could see who picked it up and could contact them either positively or negatively.

I fail to see the problem. Additionally posting the trip is the only actual method you could use to verify the schedulers are playing by the rules. I like to follow the draft trip to see how many post block out revisions occur.
