For obvious reasons, it's a good idea to print this out and carry it in your flight case to refer to as needed.

Reassignment, Down Line Draft and Junior Assignment
The following is a summary of the CBA provisions governing reassignment, down line draft and junior assignment.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the items below and follow along in the CBA, pages Section 5, Part III, page 5-3-8--10
All involuntary flying must fall under the guidelines of one of the following:
Reassignment
*A reassignment is defined as any change to a pilots schedule where legs of flying were removed and replaced with a new assignment which is reasonably expected to conclude within three hours of the original pairing. If the company does not schedule the pilot to end his trip within three hours of the original pairing, it will be considered a downline draft.
*It must return the pilot to his domicile no later than the same calendar day.
*Pilots must normally accept reassignments that extend outside the original duty period, however, if a pilot can not comply with a reassignment due to an extraordinary personal hardship, the pilot may decline the reassignment. A LPR will be required.
Downline Draft
*A down line draft is defined as the addition of a flight segment which continues as an existing pairing -or- is any change to a pilot’s schedule where legs of flying are removed and replaced with a new assignment which is expected to extend beyond three hours of the original trip pairing.
*Flights must be reasonably expected to depart within 2 hours of the pilots inbound arrival time.
*There may be no more than three flights (including any deadhead), the last of which must return the pilot to his domicile on the same calendar day, this does not preclude a pilot from voluntarily accepting a draft that flies into the next calendar day.
*A pilot may only be down line drafted once a month and a pilot may only be down line drafted for flights which are reasonably expected to depart within two hours of his inbound arrival time.
*A pilot who is downline drafted will be provided a hotel room at his request
*A pilot must normally accept downline drafts, however, the pilot may decline the assignment due to an extraordinary personal hardship, a LPR is required.
Junior Assignment
*A pilot is considered to be Junior Assigned when he is assigned to a flight or series of flights which occur on his day off.
*A pilot may only be junior assigned once a month, and a total of six times a calendar year.
*A pilot may only be junior assigned on the same calendar day as the notification.
*A pilot must be returned to domicile on the same calendar day as the junior assignment.
*A pilot may not be junior assigned to a multiple day trip.
*A pilot must normally accept a junior assignment, however, if the pilot is unable to comply due to an important personal circumstance, the pilot may decline the assignment. A LPR will be required.
Additional considerations
*The pilot will be pay protected for any removed flying resulting from scheduling illegalities due to a reassignment, downline draft or junior assignment.
*All reassignments, downline drafts or junior assignments may not result in a scheduled duty day exceeding 12 hours.
