Wow, I go to sleep last night and see what I miss?

Bottom line is we, the royal we, paid for everything in OUR contract. There is a lot of stuff in there to make sure the company schedules and operate us efficiently, economic incentives. If the company buys sim time and forgets about it, not surprising? Our little issues will hardly be a drop in the bucket at the end of the fiscal year. Time out on training, leads to bumps, fine, it's in the contract--bought and paid for. As has already been stated, a couple of fatigue or sick calls are not that unusual and really shouldn't impact the 90 day clock that much. If the time is exceeded, then, the company pays for the economic incentive in our contract, plain and simple.

This training issue will effect the bottom line and our future viability, but not in and of itself. The larger issue is the horrendous decisions made by OUR management. How long, and if, they stay in power will have much more to do with our future than a few guys getting bumps out of an equipment award.

Carry on.
