L-CAL's CCS Posting on Friday evening 
If you are a B737 Captain or First Officer in IAH, EWR, CLE, or LAX that does a straight pickup
of a full trip pairing from open time that originates on
December 17, 2011 through December 19, 2011, that pickup will be treated as a “voluntary
junior manning” (VJM) event and you will be paid a minimum of 4:30/day or flight time
flown, whichever is greater, at 150% of your normal hourly rate.

currently on reserve, yesterday they placed a trip on my line that was illegal without looking at it. Today they called me not to assign me a trip but asked if I would pick up the trip. When I asked if it was legal for me to take it, they skipped over the question and said, "yes or no will I pick up the trip." When I looked it up it was illegal again.
Is there any penalty to them if I take an illegal trip? Don't they look at this stuff? One was going to give me 34 hours in six days and the other was 37 hours in seven day.

To add to that: use extreme caution - MANY new schedulers right now that have no idea what they're doing. I've had to call them out several times this month already. Whether it was innocent or not - irrelevant. KNOW THY CONTRACT! I hope the new hire UAL guys got a good briefing about the scheduling section, I see some good info. has already been posted. If unsure, call the UDO.

Looks like the company's plan to restrict voluntary reduced flying to only the 1st half of December has worked out like a charm in the 2nd half of the month.
I'm sure though that the company will find a way to blame the union in the press. "We are trying to increase our staffing, but the furloughed United pilots are not responding to the job offers in the manner we had hoped in order to alleviate these problems."
