Soooooo.......Under 117 could I inform the company that I refuse to do my cbt "under my own volition" and require them to schedule a training duty period to complete the CD? In that case under the PWA, would I have to be compensated for a training day (what is it now...3:45?) instead of the standard approx. :50 minutes?
Thoughts?
Let us know how that works out for ya.
Seriously, this falls into the common sense category. The Company is not requiring you to accomplish your CBT at a
specific time (only giving you 2-month deadline.) Taking your argument to the extreme, the FAA could prohibit CBT and bidding and ASAP reporting within 10 hours of a report -- but obviously that is not the intent of 117.
