Haha. Well I didn't mean to use their system exactly. When they first converted a number of years back they only got 27.5 hrs a year. I knew it was over 40 something hrs now.
Anyway, a quick check of the IFS work rules shows they get 49 hrs/yr of PPT they call it now. And you can bank unused hours or get paid for them.
Lots more details than that of course, but hey, we will have the "gold standard" of PPT systems right? So how about 80 or 100 hours of bankable PPT time for pilots. Its not that far fetched. You know we used to get seven weeks of vacation, right? Anyway, forget about verification. Why not?
Use up your PPT hours and get unpaid trip drop or go straight to disability. Which is a verification situation of course.
