What is the difference of banning something or being disciplined when not following the provisions of the CBA thus not protected?
Curious, why do you suppose the PBB which defines Staging as "a pilot who is commuting by air from their primary residence to their base" also requires your primary residence to be within 100 nautical miles of the FedEx ramp?
Doesn’t FCIF 18-0078 contradict the PBB?
Why is it that it requires your primary residence to be within 100 nautical miles of the Fedex ramp?
Also, when I read the PBB, it specifically says “Memphis” when referring to the no harm no foul policy. Why is that? Is there no protection to those using the Fedex Jumpseat to commute to their IND, ANC or LAX base?
” As detailed in the contract, Section 26.J.2., a pilot may use a Company staging
jumpseat to position himself in Memphis for the start of his scheduled trip (“No
Harm, No Foul”), provided he meets the requirements of that section and the Jumpseat policy.”
Lastly, why does this commuting policy need to be so complicated?
