3. You are also expected to show up for your schedule on-time and you are expected to show up for your trips on a regular basis. Let me know what happens if you fail to meet those "expectations"?
Also, I believe an email recently used the word "required".
1. Cleaning is deminimis... (from the email) it’s defined as insignificant... like profit sharing.
2. Thanks for quoting what I wrote. The point of “should” was to address the difference in wording between will and should or required and expected. Pretty sure i covered it with the manual references if anyone is still confused. But you knew that.
3. There’s no expectation.
FOM 1.37.3 Reporting for duty
Pilots are REQUIRED to report...
So you “must” or you will find youreself in a dependability review.
Words are chosen very carefully.
