Nothing would result in a company lawsuit smack down faster than not picking up open time. It is just too engrained in our culture and the company's minimum manning system depends on it.
Try to do it as individuals and in the great whack a mole game another head is going to pop up in your place and fly the trip. I applaud you for not picking up, but do it for your own reasons, not as a dig on the company because I promise you they won't even notice.

Tacamo,
It's like that at every company until it's not.
If the day comes when almost EVERYONE feels dissed and even a modicum percentage of them discontinue picking up open time, the company would notice.
I think SWA has noticed a few times when all of a sudden their rampers in MDW stopped picking up extra shifts.
One person on a personal beef/crusade is not going to make the difference, but if enough people spontaneously feel less compliant, then there will be a difference.
