This information is good for lazy, can't be bothered to read my contract, sort of purple folks.
This is some puke who hasnt bothered to read his contract.
For all of you non Purple types that find this thread constructive, please flame away.
Get a real forum,
WG
PS: I know, just don't click on it. But if I and alot of others take that approach the readership diminishes and the value of the website diminishes. Um, get a private forum to educate your own, and to discuss your own.
I didn't know the only purpose of this forum was "to enlighten the flying population on the state of the industry". Hmmm.
That said, I think we have to give WG a little bit of a break. He's not used to dealing with a contract like ours that has the potential for varied interpretations by pilots or management.
As a former "World Guy" myself, I can attest to this. When you have portions of your contract dealing with things like duty day and flight time limits that just state: "See the FARs"
, it might be difficult to appreciate the problems we occasionally encounter with contract interpretation.
Even with the occasional problem with our contract language, I'll take ours any day.
