Honestly if it's the money for someone and they told me my sim was going to be in 3 months then I'd get a part time job. No reason to sit on your arse if you need the money. If you don't need the money then go travel the islands and have a few drinks avoiding the winter weather here.
ALPA??? Really?? ALPA is only as strong as it's weakest link and in the regionals that link is plastic.
I doubt they would want to quit, but I was asking if there was a provision in the contract regarding this in the hopes that they could grieve it. Either way, seems like not much care is going into this issue, so I'll just recommend to them that they get some part time work. Thanks.
Obviously ALPA national doesn't play a strong role in the day to day issues of each chapter airline. Though given that ALPA national underwrites a lot of the CBA's at the chapter airlines, what does apply here is the similarity of specific procedures, ie grievance. Hoping that that would be an option for them.
