Without having the same read-only access to DBMS that ALPA has, we have no way to verify proper payment of everyone involved in those cases.
I have notified CS of those issues occurring, but I also follow up with an ACE every time. I don’t trust that the company is competent or honest enough to pay the affected pilot(s) properly simply because I brought it to their attention.
What you’re doing is perfectly fine and appreciated. There are obviously a lot of things that aren’t transparent to line pilots. A record of contact is very helpful given our response timeline and backlog. We understand pilots do not trust the company and we are the backstop for compliance.
