To me, there is a direct connection between the operation and the PWA. If I screw up in the operation, it is the PWA that gives the union the contractual right to represent me in any disciplinary matter. Is that correct?

This horse needs some more beating.

The memo was poorly staffed and worded. It wasn't the first time and it won't be the last.

For the record, I think the word choice of line check "blitz" is a poor choice of words, but I don't think it rises to the level of "panties in a wad" bad. I thought the word choice of doing the walkaround "in the shadow of the aircraft" was a poor choice of words too. I remember when DAL memos used to be full of misspellings. Etc, etc, etc.

Hold that horses head, I'm gonna kick it in the nu...

Underboob, I'm beggin ya.

Anyone care to help me with finding chapter and verse on where alfa's claim that saying bye to the pax is in our manuals? I've searched high and low in the FOM.... no dice.

FOM Chapter 7.1.12 -- Passenger Deplaning

Ha, just found it and came back here and saw your post, newK.

Not anywhere near the strong wording that is in the gatehouse PA memo.

Okay, here's a question. I'm going to training at the end of January. On the calendar portion of the PBS website, for the 2 days just prior to going to training it says PTP. Are these days blocked off for travel to training? That's the only thing I can think of but they are not listed on the VTS page in DBMS.

Thanks for any help.

That's what they are for, but I think you can make them optional when you bid.

You have to double-check me on that one for sure. :D

I knew you would find it. :)

If memory serves, isn't "should" the same word used in the memo? That's the key word in my book.

The memo uses "will" for the initial and "should" for the additional ones every 15 minutes.


Take that, horse!
