As a RSV pilot, you should check the DRO, as that is your official assignment for the following day. JetCrew only relies on whatever input CS put on CrewTrac (Master Schedule) and believe it or not, they make mistakes and sometimes things don’t match.
I’ve had different RAP start times while doing SCL, as well as trips assigned to me while in SCR/LCR, that were supposed to be assigned to someone else. All I had to do was to call them and they either corrected by matching whatever was published on the DRO or dropped the trip from my schedule.
I get it that it’s easy to just acknowledge whatever comes your way on JetCrew and go on with life. But if you have time to post on here, you should have the 30 seconds to open the DRO too. We all should put a little bit of effort and hold the company accountable. It’s as simple as that.

There is no reason one is required to check the DRO anymore. If the company screws up the JC notification, that’s their problem, not mine.

25.R.6.a is where the JETCRW notification is listed. This applies to pairing assignments. Nowhere does it states this is regarding SCL or LCR. Additionally, this is only regarding post-DRO assignments in my opinion since this is not included in the Next Day section above.
Yes, CS might do both DRO and JETCRW for a next day assignment but what happens if they forget to send the JETCRW? You’re still on the hook for the trip and it is your responsibility to be there. Good luck explaining why you didn’t check the DRO.

Don’t have the contract in front of me, but I’ll reply when I do. That said, there is literally nowhere that states you need to check the DRO.
How do I know? I’ve already been through this. Wasn’t posted to my JC, was in the DRO. I never saw it, filed a PDR, spoke with Scheduling Committee, I was told I was off the hook for the assignment and not required to check the DRO.

However, my point is that the DRO is still published for everyone, so there is transparency in the system and we should all put a little bit of effort to make sure our assignments are correct. It’s not “required” but they make mistakes all the time and if we don’t policy ourselves, no one will.
I will gladly sit at home while you fly my trip though.

You’re right, the CBA does states on 25.R.2.a.vii: “Each Pilot shall be notified of his individual DRO assignment via JetCrew or its equivalent.”

personally, the only time I’ll check the DRO is if I am going to call them because I feel they did something wrong. That way I don’t look stupid when I call. Lol.

2. JETCREW is the standard and that is the way the Company wants it. Check the DRO if you want but it no longer controls. The FSM is dead.
3. Whatever JETCREW says IS the correct assignment.

This is how the contract reads, how it is being taught in ground school, and how the Crew Scheduling committee interpreted it when I discussed it with them.

Ask yourself why the DRO is published at all?
