I was scolded by an aCPO for booking an S1 back from my brother's death. Utilized S1 going out was fine, but not back. Called to get permission and was told no, despite the ambiguous language in the policy.

Sounds like a power trip. Don’t understand why the CPOs have these needs to assert dominance.

How else are we supposed to know they are in charge? I mean, they could come out of their offices and greet pilots, be available when they are in their offices and answer the phones when you call with an issue. Or, they could hide in their labyrinth, hide behind their front office linemen and put your issue into a queue and call you back hours to days later

Im not CPO but this seems obvious that an S1 is for going to the death/emergency situation but not home. Going home isn’t the emergency anymore.

I suspect maybe he was scolded because he failed to get it approved in advance per policy. Usually they will give you a S1 both ways.

For clarification from the HR policy page:

Preapproval is not required before travel; however, the employee should notify their manager at their earliest convenience that an emergency has occurred to avoid penalties.

Not to completely change the subject but….

How are we supposed to know when a trip is ‘closed’ for pay purposes these days?

You're not. Transparency in pay is a priority, after all...

Supposedly, they are saying that so much is still happening behind the scenes even after 'closed', that the column was deemed obsolete. Or something.

Some of these emails...do they even read what they wrote and think about how it sounds before hitting 'send'?
