There are two things here:
1) The company has stated that they will "make every attempt to not assign" anything..... It was part of the "All Pilots Memo" in December that also outlined the requirement to acknowledge an assigned rotation ten hours prior to report.
2) The PWA requires a schedule check not before 1500 on your last non fly day but NLT 0200 on your first fly day. Its a check. Acknowledgment is different than a schedule check. Here is what the PWA/SRH states:

Is it really possible under the PWA to check one's schedule without acknowledging it? I gotta think it's tough to answer the mail on that when the CPO calls.
When I'm on reserve, I'll just keep on setting my alarm for 0155 to check my schedule, until the LOA is done. Gives the negotiators some leverage.

Of course you can get away with anything until someone complains about it.

While we are throwing the speculative mud at the wall, I was wondering what single point failure could take out ACARS and the radios ... the BPCU.
All modern jets have them, have to. Their failure has rendered a 747, a 787 and other types completely unpowered. My concerns aren't for the 777, but the 787 where truly immense levels of electrical power go through a computer controlled box of mechanical relays.
A dark jet, no nav capability, turn towards land ... been there myself.

Darn. Moved backwards one spot. Just when u get your hopes up for some advancement reality hits again. Even with a bunch of 7er slots avail still sliding backwards on the 73. Otoh it looks like furlough bypass recalls bidding into cat from their assigned base... so if they had been able to just participate in an ae when recalled (like they should have been able to in a smart world) they would have been there a month ago anyways.
So.... I guess I could look at it as I got an extra month before sliding backwards--sweet!
But really, not sliding backwards would be so awesome someday!
