I think you pretty much got how draft goes. I have known guys who call scheds every day to volunteer. I would guess scheduling takes the easiest route and drafts a guy they know is available and will take the trip no matter how heinous. And how would anyone ever know if scheduling is following the CBA?

Most of the draft stuff I've seen has been 'Field' stuff and they say so on the call. As far as I can see there are no call order requirements for Field Emergency assignments which is probably why they say it right away in the calls.

Speed dial?! I think its more like a red phone hotline like the Bat Phone Commissioner Gordon had. You haven't seen the wolf silhouette being beamed in Memphis by the scheduling search light?
