If not and a pilot has not completed the training the CP's office will look at his schedule and see the long block of time off. They wont drop his trips and will allow him to complete the training when he gets back. We are wasting bandwidth on this one.
There in lies the problem...... We should not have to do training on days off or vacation. If you want me to do training put it on my schedule and pay me for it (I know we get 10 minutes or so pay). Just because I can have internet access and time off shouldn't allow the company to dictate what I do with my free time.
