Copy, will do.

Thats what I figured, the system screwed it up.

 

Also if you used MiCrew to call out sick, send ALPA a dart.

 

I did used MiCrew. I will send the Dart as well tomorrow.

 

I think people need to forget about the actual cost, because that is one, a moving target, and two, you are dealing with a company that has irrational measures.

Beside the pay & trip coverage problems, which are actually caused by the same issue, look at the problems the company focuses its most obnoxious non-compliance on: crew meals, state sick leave and dead head seating.

Ask yourself what those things have in common.

 

What deadhead policy did the FAs get after we signed C19? I know they got our crew meals, and holiday pay, etc. Did their DH seat policies change?

 

Its not the match. The company wants to show there is absolutely no point in a union. Even if they were to match the non-cons 100% to quell their upset for whatever reason, they are tacitly admitting that there is a path for other employees to controlling the outcome, even if indirectly. It's not the cost of the match, which I agree we should never have to consider, but the fact that the company is going to have to jump that hoop with them, and again demonstrate that those mean ole' pilots are in at least some control of their own situation.

They want to ensure to show there is no point. Therefore each gain that we have that is on display to the employee group at large, with have either a very, very high price tag attached to it, they'll agree and simply ignore it or implement it in the worst way possible (crew meals), or they'll make sure to implement it where others outside our control can play fast and loose with it, again to show those mean old pilots whose really in control (deadheading). Then they'll feign ignorance or circumstances outside their control. DHing and crew meals could be fixed in a day. The rest of the employee group lives under a constant sword of Damocles, and we see that every day when the agents make decisions based on the company watching them on the holy altar of metrics. You can bet if the company sent out a memo that said "stop effing with the pilots' food and seating" it would stop in a heartbeat. But they don't.

 

I agree with all that but you didnt address what I asked.

 

They already had holiday pay. Before we did.

 

They matched our per diem, which was fairly expensive, if I had to guess.

 

They had crew meals before us as well.
