Later when I mentioned this to some more senior guys they seemed to be just as shocked that I actually called crew scheduling from my layover - so maybe that answers your question...

IF that were ever to happen under this current contract, the IPA can call for an immediate and LEGAL open time BAN.

It is in our contract:
13. K. 9. It shall be a violation of this Agreement if the Association engages in any action
to encourage or suggest to its members that they not pick up open time or
decline junior available assignments. This language shall not be applicable
during a time of furlough or furlough announcement. Further, it shall be a
violation of this Agreement if any crewmember(s) takes any action, individually or
collectively, to discourage or interfere with other crewmembers who desire to pick
up open time or accept junior available assignments. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall limit an individual crewmember’s ability to voice personal
opinions.

What I'm getting at is, just because it's not in a contract, how can MEC's get in trouble for it?
