Welp. Got the call this morning. They tried to tell me it wasn’t a junior assignment. Then tried to say it’s in my footprint. When I explained that they were wrong the manager said “it’s in your footprint because we don’t have anyone else to do it”. I said too bad. I’m not doing it and hung up.

If you're a lineholder and the assignment is after your release time in your original footprint on the last day you are not required to accept.
btw guys make sure that if it’s a JA they code it that way so you done lose days off

I'm not sure about other bases but in IAH we got an email not too long ago from the CPO telling us not sit there and try to haggle with crew tracking over premium pay.
Premium pay percent is set by base and position.
CS cannot negotiate premimum pay.
CPO can.

use this example if you like. If I were to ask JO to wash my car for $50, he’s not available. However, if I were to offer, and be able to pay, $5 million for him to wash my car I’m willing to bet he’s available. Compensation is absolutely tied to availability.
