Why can Swayne film for his own profit, while other pilots can't even film a parked airplane for educational purposes?
Where is the equal protection?
If you were harmed in a material way (usually this is considered either losing time off or money), yes. I do not think that would qualify.
Swayne can film because company allows him.
There is no equal protection under the RLA.
This falls under management rights. Swayne is not the only pilot doing S/As, and when he is bought off his trips, bunch of line pilots pick up his stuff at 150%. Kinda hard to show real harm to our pilots. I don't have the latest number, but 2019 it was around 50 pilots who did recruitment trips as S/As. Swayne wasn't even the most active one.
