The entire policy is a recipe for narks.
The narks don't realize though that a management that is interested in your information is equally interested in information on you.
Also and in general, leadership though spear in the back is a clear indication of a failed leadership team and culture that is ready to implode on itself.
I really dont know why ALPA hasnt filed a lawsuit about this. You are being asked to perform labor, under penalty of disciplinary action, with no pay and no labor protections. And before you say "But they gave you a free flight!", I will ask you are they abiding by minimum wage laws? What was the value of that flight? Whose state regulations apply? Remember its not just pilots. Some of the people being asked to work are normal hourly employees subject to their states labor protections, not the RLA. If you are injured (razors, needles, broken glass in the seat back) who is liable for that? What kind of training was provided? Who covers your medical? Does the PEA apply?
In other words, just WTF is taking ALPA so long to shut this nonsense down?
