Notices

### It is against the APC Forum Rules to advocate any labor action which is not authorized by the RLA/NMB. This applies to ANY wildcat actions, including slowdown, work-to-rules, withdrawal of enthusiasm (WOE), sickouts, etc. It is irrelevant whether the union itself has anything to do with the action. Major unions have lost court cases and in one instance suffered severe financial damage in the process. Online posts, including anonymous posts and posts made here on APC, have been used in lawsuits against unions. Many major airlines are in negotiations at this time, and many are contentious. We have been contacted by major union legal teams regarding this issue. The rules here have not changed, but the enforcement will now result in a 30 day ban from APC for violations. Please don't sabotage your own union's efforts on your behalf.

### In order to submit updates to the APC Airline Profiles, please send updates directly to Rickair7777 via Private Message (pmail). I will review and forward them to Internet Brands staff for posting.

Looks suspiciously like a violation of the contract to me.

That's an unfortunate aspect of being on reserve with a domicile layover. Almost every time I've been rerouted into one, I've ended up getting called 5 minutes later with the balance of the trip on my schedule. Raw groups for the win!

I sure never mind the extra night at home. Not as good of a deal for a commuter.

It's not. You have to be removed from the trip and the balance offered up for any white slips/lineholders/whatever to cover it. Sometimes it works out, most of the time I've ended up with the balance.

It's happened to me numerous times. It's a convenient way for the company to avoid paying for a hotel. As a commuter, it's a good reason to be a line holder vice on reserve.

It is when the scheduler is new and sends you to the hotel and you check in before she calls you back to tell you you're no longer on the trip.
