You have 5 working days for non discipline, 10 otherwise. Yes, it's ask ask force force, based on the day's classification is what class would be forced/asked. If an air driver signs up for Saturday for the month, they can force him before asking as he's signed up and qualified, technically it's his shift. Now if he says I "can't make it tomorrow" he's still being forced to be there but he's basically booking off. We have PT cover drivers who basically work M-friend to cover vacations and call outs, so your supplement my differ on who they can force.
To give you an example, the aforementioned PT cover drivers can work 5 days during the week and get 8hrs a day, and have seniority to work the 6th day(Saturday air) before a FT driver, as that's their classification shift. Much like during the week it goes the opposite.

That's why, it's their classification on Saturday. They can even work 5 days as a cover driver and work Saturday before a FT can. They get paid their lower rate, as such you don't see many, if any, volunteer for it.

I think that would be a good idea. Depending on how far you want to take it and how the BA reacts would be a deciding factor if I went above his head. I personally want to work it, not just create a stink, I assume you'd like to actually exercise your rights to work if the opportunity presented itself?
If a person that signed the list does a no call no show in my they aren't allowed to sign the list again for a year.
Also is they need more drivers they need to call the people that singed the list but did get picked first and in order of seniority...

Our center has a Saturday air driver. If for some reason he can't work that day they offer the work to any casual who did not get their 40 hours during the week.

It is first offered to qualified employees who have worked less than 37 hours in seniority order, then offered to everyone in seniority order. (NMA pg 146)

We get the message on the DIAD quite often needing a full time driver or 2 for Saturday. I hit "4" automatically.

airs drivers are becoming a dying breed...we had no available airs drivers for new years eve so they forced 30 full timers to work....

Double timed solved that problem for us.

Yeah fewer and fewer young uns want their Saturday's taken up.
I think here they have to offer the work to PT air air drivers first, then all other PTers, then they can offer to FT ground drivers. They force the PTers first too.
Which begs the question......why, with us being union, couldn't the fulltimers chose to work Saturdays?
