The way I hear it from the pilot side is that DAL-N has a Call in Honest Policy and DAL-S has a Call in Stupid Policy.
Maybe we need to bump up the cap numbers on sick leave by about 100% instead of having the DAL-N Call in Honest program.
Supposedly its a "me too" issue, even though its apparently not in writing in other contracts?
They don't want to give this to the pilots without giving it to the other employee groups (F/A) and can't figure out how to do it without ****ing off other groups.
If you have any contacts, here is a suggestion you can give them.
Write the policy to state that Call in Honest will apply if it would, without utilizing a reserve, drop the crew below the minimum legal staffing required for the flight. Not sure if there is a specific minimum for cabin crew above and beyond FARs at DAL-S. Just an idea...
