As a practical matter, enough guys are voluntarily on those schedules that they won't have to force anybody, but if you're in the bottom 10% (I believe) of a given fleet, it's a possibility.
Keep in mind also that you'll be on the 18-day Training schedule, followed by the CC72, from the day you start until you're able to bid onto the 7/7. As the bids are only done three times a year, you may not be able to get the 7/7 for a number of months after you start.

In my latest correspondence, I was told 7/7 was in no way a sure thing, and (paraphrasing) the 7/7 isn't guaranteed to any pilot, you'll be assigned a schedule type based on fleet and seat need.
Can anyone offer clarity?
