It might be different at other places, but that is not Junior Manning at XJT - that's a reassignment. As far as I know, reassignments have little to do with seniority and more to do with who's available. Junior Manning is calling you on your day off and it is as simple as not answering your phone or making up a ludicrous story of debauchery.
I would definately consider any reassignments being JA'd. I use to work for Mesa which everyone know is the king of this and there were many people that actually bid for shifts with 3 or 4 hour sits in the hub because they would actually do things during this time. Regardless of why you bid a schedule, if they change it without your consent, I consider that to be JA'd. We were paid 200% for any JA at Mesa. However when I left they were still working on the greivance for the being rescheduled inside of a sit pay. According to the contract that should have been paid at JA pay...of course the company has a less than stellar reputation of knowing the inner workings of that same contract.
