All it will do is red flag us when we do get it back. As someone said, working with pilots sometimes is like trying to herd cats!!
It appears as though you do not understand a lot of things.

Did you not read the email about fast tracking the program? Did you know that earlier this year we were in the system, and yet even though the program was available to us we were not notified. The only way I knew about it was someone who used KCM told me about it. So I fail to understand why you would criticize individuals that tried to use KCM given we were told it would be “Fast Tracked”.

You have a supplemental mindset and you cannot appreciate what it means to be a professional airline pilot, very sad.

Whale Wrangler knows whats he's talking about. You cannot incorporate sections of a contract prior to it being ratified. It does not matter what the DO said. If they did that, they (Kalitta Air) would be in court. It will happen if/when the the TA passes.

I probably understand more than you give me credit for.

Yes I saw the email about "Fast Track" that's all it said, no time frame, just they will fast track the application which is not done overnight. It will be available hopefully in time for contract ratification (assuming it passes). The system was available, the cards arrived at Bldg 1, but implementation would have been a status quo violation and it was stopped and the cards never handed out. How they found out about crews using it was some one opened their yap in G/S in front of management and it got turned off that day apart from management.

And as for your last comment, I have probably been a professional pilot long before you were an itch in your fathers pants.

Well, now we have a contract, it's time to "git er done" with regards to KCM.

Yes ratified. All parties have to sit down and sign it now along with an effective date.

As for the constant KCM questions, it will arrive when it has been paid for (yes the TSA charge the company for it), the company get the KCM cards, we get the KCM cards and the whole shabang is "switched on".

If people spent as much time worrying about KCM as they did on the contract maybe we might have got one [contract] earlier!!!???
