If he was at CAL he'd be the first guy volunteering for Jr Man pay to HELP the company as they short staff the airline. My issues are with guys like him that benefit themselves at the expense of fellow pilots. It is guys like him why we had one more round of un needed furloughs in May of 03. Guys like him sell their vacation back to the company and reduce staffing levels right during the summer season. So where you say I have issues like the majority of the pilot group I would strongly disagree. Because if I was part of the majority we would not have passed such a FKed up contract.
CPT,
I thought we were done with this discussion. Since you still wish to justify your attitudes and apparently your actions with reference to LTD and sick leave I will chime in once more.
Your first comment in this thread alluded to perhaps "looking" for a way to "medical" out. I have no problem with LTD benefiting those who legitimately need it. You however, suggested that the "key" was to get on LTD and keep it by not jumping through hoops to get your medical back. Your suggestion was to let the "professionals" decide and then just cash the ..... check." Should anyone wonder why management then requests a second or third evaluation of the individual requesting to be put on LTD.
I invite anyone to go back through this thread and find where I called you a liar or anything else you suggested in the above. I posed questions of your attitude on the above subjects and I believe you are questioning yourself because you stepped in something that smells. I word to the wise for anyone reading our banter back and forth. If you think something similar to what Calpilottootoo does, just keep it to yourself. It would be difficult to justify your actions if they are in direct violation of a personnel policy.
Just remember that when all else fails and your argument is going nowhere disparage your opponents ethics by ridiculing him for having too much sick leave. He is after all just one of those "guys like him" that is bringing us all down.
BTW CPT, may I ask why you don't have anything on your public profile? That as well as those at SWA who block their board (computer) always get me wondering.
