All that matters is what is written. BJ has a long history of exploiting language when it suits their agenda. Why allow a contract that gives them even more subjective ability to hurt you?

This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.
If these are anecdotal experiences then so are alleged “Draconian” practices unless we can garner exact numbers and enough testimony to see if your perceptions and mine are statistically significant. Otherwise it’s all conjecture and heresay. I’d just be happy if people actually took PTO instead of dragging in looking like the Crypt Keeper spewing phlegm all over the cockpit because it’s more lucrative to fly sick and sell back PTO at 150%. Get the entire crew sick purely out of greed. Awesome.
