Not a Bad suggestion, except there aren't very many Weekend layovers, at least not on the MEM MD.

Not true. The only time the union isnt obligated is if they deem a Grievance Review Board is required to deny your request if you want to file it over something ludicrous. (IE: Its not in the contract). For the record, a grievance is in the works on ramp locations who have not complied with our contract. Point is: Talk is cheap. If our complaint is legit and contractural, then file the grievance. It is our call.
