Section 16 Workers Compensation Benefits
A. General
1. The Company shall reimburse a Pilot for all reasonable initial emergency out-of-pocket medical expenses incurred in connection with an on-the-job injury/illness (OJI).
2. A Pilot who is, or thinks they may have been, injured while on a Pairing or other Company business shall notify his Chief Pilot or designee of such injury as soon as practicable.
More weak language.
"reasonable"? What defines it reasonable? The company probably wouldn't find it reasonable to give you a Band-Aid.
What happens if you get stabbed by a needle with HIV while you're dumpster diving (cabin cleaning) while you're commuting in for duty? The contract doesn't elsewhere define duty as starting when you start dumpster diving. BJ will simply say you weren't "on the job" if you were cabin cleaning.
