As for "reassuring" everyone that this is not how the rest of the month is going to go...BS...everything they do ends up resulting in miserable failures. Take eMaestro, Fulough 2006, and now Furlough 2008. It's becoming comical. Then they try and justify their thinking by using the "staffing model" line...good luck with that RPiper.
Be prepared to get JM/JU.:angryfire
I highly doubt they really record all calls.That is the problem...being on reserve does not mean they can "do whatever they like." I wouldn't accept the trip and have them transfer me to a CP. Then tell them to check the tape. Use their recordings against them. You can call a union rep...but they are typically pretty worthless...regardless what Herman tells everyone when he is jumpseating.
I highly doubt they really record all calls.
I have never heard a solid case where a pilot was repremanded because of a phone call. I've heard rumors, but they're just that...rumors.
I worked as a dispatcher at another airline and out DO tried to tell us all of our conversations were recorded as well. If they really were, we'd all be fired....not for yelling at crew members, but just the content of our conversations...of course they were all friendly, we were a tight nit airline.
But if they are really recorded, I'm sure they would only be used against the pilot....not in defense of.
Just remember my fellow professionals, don't post ANYTHING on an internet forum (this one or your internal COMAIR forum) that could be construed as taking part in, or organizing anything resembling a "sick out." The injunction that just got slapped on us here at UAL had NUMEROUS examples of supposedly anonymous internet postings that were used against us in court. Even though UA-ALPA obviously didn't organize a sick-out, the blame for the guys that did call out sick on their own out of anger, wanting time off, etc. (i.e. the guys getting furloughed here) fell right onto UA-ALPA's lap......the Railway Labor Act doesn't care if the union organizes it or not.
I saw a couple of posts above mine that looked a lot like posts I saw my company putting in front of a Federal judge just a few months ago.
I'm just saying.....be careful guys!

MR told me he listed to the tape and they all had a good laugh, but I can't use profanity to the CSers.
