Sup with this? From our MEC:
This submission comes from a pilot that had a very short stay at Comair.
“After working the holidays with 15 days on with 2 days off,
I was starting my third 6 day trip. After completing an out and back to BOS,
I was physically fatigued.
I was very close to being maxed out at 30 in 7 from flying so much.
I was so tired that I called in fatigued once I got back to Cincinnati.
Keith Stamper chewed me out because he couldn't understand how someone who had
only been at Comair for 11 months and 25 days could call in fatigued and he put
CP on my line.
I can't figure out what tenure with the company has to do with fatigue.
Brad Beall was assigned to my case and never even took a statement from me.
After a very short period of time Steve Briner decided to terminate me.
I have to wonder if the chief pilots really care about the rank and file,
their safety or the safety of their passengers?”
Usually I think these are pretty accurate, but I'm not sure if I'm getting one side of the story. Like the guy that got terminated for calling in sick for his own wedding. But he was also on the "list" for abusing sick calls before. BTW, do probationary pilots get union protection, or is it pretty much, your outa here for something like the above statement? (4 for days till my anniversary!)
