I cannot belive the union signed off on this. WTF were they thinking?
We lose over and over again. I can't wait until they dork up our retirement.
Not so fast ... pardon the pun.
First, the settlement agreement was signed July 5, 2016. Here's the last paragraph:
Due to the programming required to implement the provisions of this Settlement Agreement, the target effective date of this Settlement Agreement shall be January 31, 2017, but in no event shall the effective date of this Settlement Agreement be later than June 30, 2017. The effective date may be extended by mutual agreement between the parties.
Note the date of the PFC.com announcement, July 6, 2017, and the planned implementation date, July 10, 2017.
So much for The Company holding up their end of a bargain. Try submitting your sick note 6 months late.
You may recall we discussed the Settlement Agreement itself about a year ago.
Then we were focused on the 3 options for clearing your name, and the probable tendency of many to go with option 3, "Surrender your privacy protections and Plead with your chief pilot."
The biggest news I see in this "News Release" is that the note which reads, "Capt. Hero was under my care. Signed - Dr. Shivago" will not suffice.
We still don't have any more information about the extra-contractual point system or thresholds which the automated system will use to trigger SCP review of our sick bank usage.
