MEC just screwed me out of $1500
So, several weeks ago the MEC made a bid deal of getting the company to pay up for pilots who picked up flying in vacation months, that had a low PTC. In fact a policy was set up to email payroll to get paid. For November I bid "low" since I have vacation and that would leave me the flexibility to pick up a turn on a day I choose and make up the cash- . Enter the MEC who can't decide what they want. According to a memo out today, the company will no longer pay up- at the demand of the union. I'm screwed for November since I bid low, based on the new practice. Wonder how many others are in the same boat. What a stupid thing to do. They should have waited at least until December so everyone- (other than union insiders) would know how to bid.
