Boycaptain,
You are right. But since we don't have those rules, what do you recommend? Since you are going to be a commuter soon, these kinds of pairings won't do much for you getting time at home.
I think the union should get involved. They should send an email to each DP flyer when the trip is picked up, just letting them know it is a DP and the reasons why the trip is disputed. That way they definitely know the pairing is disputed. Then after the trip is flown, publish names of those that flew the pairing so that other members can get feedback about these pairings. Publish the list in AOC and via email. It seems people are more likely to pick up these pairings if they tend to be anonymous.
I think it would be better handled coming from an ALPA email. I think we could get volunteers to monitor these pairings (how hard can it be), and send the emails out from an ALPA account. I think it would be seen as union business rather than an individual. In this day and age, I could see FDX trying to fire someone that decides to do this themselves.....
OK, just my idea. Any others?
