It's childish to air your dirty laundry on a forum by continuously providing misinformation and skewing or disregarding the actual facts. You are coming off as someone who has a personal issue with the people working on our behalf as well as your issue with the bonus grievance that has already been explained to all of us.
If you want actual answers, read your emails (almost every question you have asked has already been answered) and then call the people that are actually working on the issues. Just throwing out a contract section or idea that you don't really understand doesn't make you sound smart. It actually does the opposite. I have no desire to speak with you and listen to more of your fact-less theories. Cut the theatrics and grow up.
So if I understand correctly, you're telling me I'm wrong, but you are the one that has not received answers back to your questions?
I have received answers back on my questions and per an email from the Grievance Committee Chairman I received: "We do have a toll on timeliness agreed to with the company as the pandemic and expected furlough event have caused a strain on resources." Further, on a phone call, I was told that they will not be meeting per the contract in October (see my above reference).
Lastly, on the group grievance email from August 25 it reads: "... both the company and the association have agreed to suspend the timeliness provisions regarding filed issue forms so that the parties can focus on...."
They chose their words very carefully here. The only included "filed issue forms", but they didn't mention appealed grievances because that would create quite a few upset pilots. Further, they have not signed an LOA, which should be required since the CBA very clearly mandates timelines.
What other questions did you ask? As your previous posts have said, the union is very responsive and also very helpful. I'm sure you'll have answers back in the next day or two so please let me know what they say.... lol
