Please.
Hold them accountable for what they actually got busted for within fair reasonableness. Absolutely. But assumptions of guilt based on them not being able to "prove" something in the past is unreasonable.
Sorry but we gotta dig in and defend them against that BS.
It depends on what kind of data the company has on them. I was assigned 7 Short calls last month - first time in 18 years that I maxed out on SCs. No wonder scheduling is going bonkers on assigning short calls. These guys are screwing it for all of us. It will be interesting to see what "proposed changes" to SC/reserve come up in the next section 6.
Suppose every time these guys have a trip they leave a easily verifiable digital trail - KCM, Jump seat, Non-rev etc - every time they have a trip and show up in base. Yet for years there is Zip, nada, squat for every SC. I will say innocent until proven guilty not the other way around but the fact is these guys were out of position when they were needed and apparently out of position for years.
How much bargaining capitol do you suppose the union should spend on guys that were cheating? It will be very easy to see if this was a one off or if these guys were gaming the system for years.
Oh and how many guys take the Bus and train across country to commute to work - I hope that you are not really serious here.
