Hero. There is no rouge X-Men super hero. He/She would be all red, or a cast member of moulin rouge.

It's whether you are selfish and smart or selfish and dumb. A stooge that works at cross-purposes to collective bargaining is selfish and dumb.

Aspect of your position by taking open shifts every day you are scheduled off, and never taking sick, personal, or vacation days. 

Stop trying to scare people 

I would call the police and file a report lol

Maybe post this to the union board, or are you scared because you can't complain anonymously on there. 
don't be a coward. 

I wonder, would the union do to a member that is pointing out a valid claim of illegal activity by the union and/or its members?  Is it a valid claim or not?  It's irrelevant who is making a claim unless the union intends on some sort of blackmail or strong arm campaign.

Legal for a pilot to decline voluntary overtime, and legal to tell others pilots why they are doing it

Stop trying to stir the pot and scare people with your fake news

Into taking open shifts. Note that open shifts are not the same as overtime. Open shifts are unpredictable and vary widely. Overtime does not.

Goodbye.

Court ordered overtim?

It is voluntary overtime.

Are you feeling ok?

It is pretty simple. Voluntary Overtime. 

I am not participating in voluntary overtime. The court can't force me to work overtime. 

Yes, status quo. Overtime is voluntary.  

Picking up shifts is unpredictable, and varies widely. Status quo applies to normal scheduled workdays. Non negotiating parties are free to encourage or discourage unscheduled pickup of open shifts.

OT is voluntary.  

And, any _real_ transportation union (with _real_ RLA experience) knows this:

The district court properly determined that Delta's pilots were engaged in an unlawful no-overtime campaign. However, the district court improperly interpreted the gravity and depth of ALPA's duty under the RLA to prevent such an unlawful job action. Because there has been no showing that ALPA lacks control over the pilots, reason dictates that ALPA has not done enough to fulfill its statutorily mandated duty to "maintain" the agreement and avoid an "interruption to commerce." Upon remand, the district court shall issue appropriate injunctive relief directing ALPA to take further steps to end the pilots' no-overtime campaign.

"It is illegal under the Railway Labor Act for airline employees to go on strike without following a complicated set of rules under federal oversight. Even lesser forms of protest, such as widespread efforts to turn down overtime, are against federal rules, McBryde said."

"On May 20, 2019, plaintiff initiated this action by filing its complaint. Doc. 1. Plaintiff alleged: To gain leverage in contract negotiations, defendants' members changed their behavior in a concerted fashion by, for example, taking an unusual amount of time to repair aircraft and refusing to work overtime

It is simple. I will shorten it for you.  Voluntary Overtime.  

Voluntary. Done, given, or acting of one's own free will "we are funded by voluntary contributions"

Overtime. Time in addition to what is normal, as time worked beyond one's scheduled working hours."fewer opportunities for overtime"

I am choosing not to do voluntary overtime.  

You are on this public forum encouraging pilot conduct themselves ILLEGALLY!   STOP IT!

https://thepointsguy.com/news/american-airlines-scores-a-court-victory-as-battle-with-mechanics-drags-on/

All I am doing is stating a fact.

That fact is that overtime is voluntary.  

You might not like that fact, but it doesn't change that fact. 

Overtime is voluntary.  That's the fact.

I am not working or doing overtime.

I voted already with my feet. 

someone is starting to see the error of their boisterous opinion.

"The district court properly determined that Delta's pilots were engaged in an unlawful no-overtime campaign.

Upon remand, the district court shall issue appropriate injunctive relief directing ALPA to take further steps to end the pilots' no-overtime campaign. Further steps may include issuing directives as drafted by the court and threatening (or imposing) union sanctions for violations, as permitted by ALPA's constitution.25  If ALPA complies with the court's orders and the no-overtime campaign continues, Delta may return to the district court for injunctive relief against individual pilots, as discussed supra Part III.C."

If the pre-Section 6 negotiation notice was that there was normally X amount of overtime being taken up by pilots, then to maintain STATUS QUO, the number X should not change.  Furthermore, the Union has a statutoryily mandated duty to maintain the pre-Section 6 notice norms or find itself being sanctioned by the court.   Particulary, if there is evidence of any concerted effort to pursuade pilots not to work overtime to "put a hurt" on the company, as we've seen here already.

You don't have to be a lawyer to understand this!   You just have to be an intellectually honest individual!

Shift.

Fact.  Overtime is voluntary. 

Oh yeah....it doesn't exist Because they have not. it's all in your fragile little mind. 

Why don't you like facts?  

I don't have to work anymore than my scheduled shifts.  

Work over, shift coverage and overtime are voluntary. 

I am just stating facts.  

It is not illegal to refuse to work overtime.

It is not illegal to discuss why you are not working overtime.

Your citations refer to are union sanctioned work slowdowns, and overtime refusals.

but simply not doing it, like I have always chosen, is not.

Lifeis for living, not sitting around at a base twiddling thumbs (demoralizing too).

Status quo.  Overtime, shift coverage and work over have been voluntary and still are voluntary. 

of obfuscation and double-triple not-think - aka garbage...

Stating a fact is encouraging what?   Overtime is voluntary.  It might encourage someone to do overtime. 

These days everything is illegal - welcome to utopian marxland.
