Rumor is the RTP program is being cut next year. Before this sparks another debate about the value of the RTP program, this is not what I’m saying. But rather this:
If the RTP program does get cut for whatever reason, that means there’s going to be probably 20 people per month, which I believe would have to force the company into at the very least consider pay and reserve rules. Maybe that’s what the union is talking about?

Any suggestions?

This has me thinking...
In LGA/JFK there is a 3 hour call out. So if you had a preassigned rap 1, then saw you had S1, you could not confirm and when they called you at 0400 you wouldn't have to be there until 0700 at the earliest....boom...extra hour of sleep.

I've noticed that they forget about the pre-assigned RAP 1 when it's not supposed to be the first day of your rsv day block, i.e. you DV'd your day 1 and they HI6 you RAP 1 on the new first day. They quietly change your schedule but you don't get a midnight call if you don't confirm. Hard to spank them with this except in NYC unless they don't call at 4 AM and you're off probation/feeling ballsy.
