While not the only or even leading factor, pilot behavior is contributing to the backlog of ACE reports we are currently experiencing. It's possible the ALPA person I talked to was wrong or I simply missed an official memo among the plethora of information out there, which is why I asked. How about it then? You have a source or are you just going to be smug?
Not trying to be smug at all, just a little humor/sarcasm. But like many things funny, it’s based in truth.
I would take issue with the bolded thought. It’s the
company’s behavior that is causing the backlog of ACE. The fact we EVER have to double check via ACE, much less most
every time for a violation the company does
absolutely nothing to identify on its own is tantamount to wage theft. How they continually fail to find owed hours the union finds
by the tens of thousands is beyond egregious.
But no, it was an attempt at humor, not a shot at you.
