What Do You Think About Training Date Swaps?
Do you think that the present system of trading training dates with another pilot is fine?
With the current system of trading training dates, pilots wishing to swap have to get POP waivers from other pilots to get the company to execute the swap. If any pilot refuses to submit a POP waiver, they effectively veto the swap.
Do you think that training date swaps should be based on seniority? In other words, if a senior pilot wants to delay downgrade training, should they be able to delay it longer than a more junior pilot? Do you think we should be able to trade at all?
Should we keep the present system, but come to an agreement with the company that they will never have to pay POP as a result of a mutual swap of training dates between pilots that was executed at those two pilots' request?
