Default Another Gem - COVID MOU Cancellation

If this has been already discussed, I apologize but I haven’t read anything about this till now.

From the MEC CON statement:

“COVID MOU Cancellation
This TA has done nothing to improve any aspect of our sick time language. In fact, it will terminate the protections from the initial COVID MOU dating back to March 14, 2020 and will force a pilot who contracts COVID, or who has a household member who contracts COVID, to use their sick time and to quarantine for at least 10 days. With cases of new COVID continuing to plague our pilots, and new variants emerging, to think that it is acceptable to force pilots to use potentially all of their sick time to cover COVID is shocking. Each time a pilot is forced to use their sick time and do the safe, ethical, and responsible thing by staying home for a minimum of 10 days, that pilot will use 50% or more of their annual earned sick time.
This TA is about solving the company’s problems in manpower and training. As an “Add Pay” contract, it gives the company flexibility for manpower, making us a version of seasonal or variablized employees, greatly affecting our quality of life.”

Total BS!
