"If you are a B737 Captain in LAX, DEN, ORD, IAH, CLE, or EWR who does a straight pickup after the issuance of this message of a full trip pairing from open time that originates on May 30, 2013 through June 4, 2013, that pickup will be treated as a “Voluntary Junior Manning” (VJM) event and you will be paid at 200% of your normal hourly rate."
