From an actual ALPA CBA (not mine) Scheduling section

F. Reassignment
1. The Company shall have the right to reassign a Crewmember from a pattern to which he has already been assigned to a different pattern or reserve under any of the following circumstances. Further, such assignment may result in a Crewmember being required to work on what would otherwise have been a day off.

a. To protect or otherwise enhance the operation.
b. If the Crewmember has any portion of a pattern cancelled.
c. If the Crewmember’s cannot complete his assignment due to an equipment substitution, illegality, scheduling error, or misconnect.
d. As provided in Section 10.

2. Except as provided in paragraph 4, below, if such reassignment results in the Crewmember working on what otherwise was to be a day off, he shall be appropriately compensated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 4, below, a Crewmember awarded/assigned a line of work for the bid month will not have his days off moved without his consent.
4. In the case of a Reserve Crewmember the Company may reassign up to four (4)
days off provided, however, that if the reserve Crewmember is assigned to more
than the maximum number of regular work days as provided in paragraph B.3,
above, he shall receive appropriate additional compensation in accordance with
Section 3.

3. During a layover, unless otherwise advised by Crew Scheduling, the Crewmember must be contactable within four (4) hours unless specifically released from this requirement by Crew Scheduling for a longer period of time.

K. General

In the event of a major disruption to the operation outside of the Company’s control (including but not limited to disruptions caused by weather , natural disaster, or action by a governmental agency affecting the Company’s ability to operate its aircraft) the Company may temporarily suspend the provisions of this Section in whole or in part to the extent necessary to maintain the highest level of service possible and to return the operation to normal operations in the most expeditious manner. In such event the Company will work closely with the Association and the parties will confer as soon as practicable at the request of either to discuss the situation and any attendant issues. It is understood that the provisions of this paragraph will be implemented only under the extreme circumstances described herein, and that any dispute arising from the decision to implement the provisions of this paragraph may be handled as an Association Grievance and if not resolved pursuant to Section 20 will be expedited for resolution by the System Board of Adjustment.

All emphasis added is mine, for the distinct lesson of READ EVERY TA VERY CLOSELY before you cast a ballot.

In other words, everything else means jack crap, but is there to create some semblance of a contract so that certain parts are buried enough that a lazy person has no clue what they are working under.

Wow, and I thought *I* was scheduling's beotch on RSV. At least my days off are protected and I can tell 'em where to go once a month if they try to extend me into a day off.
