I don't understand. I thought we could call in sick 100 hours per year unverified with no questions asked? Pilots are being harassed before using 100 hours? Oh that's right. We put a clause in our contract letting the company call pilots whenever they feel like it.

I'm no lawyer, so check back me up here, and I am going on second hand info ref the Alaska scope clause, but it seems to me that if Alaska pilots scope only protects their current and ordered 737 flying, they have a ready made fence already built, if we merged.

How's that for a run on sentence?

That's what I thought too.

Pilots are being harassed before using 100 hours?

Sounds like that might be true........If so I hope it's reported to the Union so they can pursue it. Time will tell.

Oh that's right. We put a clause in our contract letting the company call pilots whenever they feel like it.

Was not just put in. It's always been there. Maybe worded a little different but the same intent was there.

The company had more freedom to call and question sick calls under the old PWA. Upper mgt is displeased that there is 100hrs of essentially "unquestionable" time now, and are attempting to work around it. It is IMPERATIVE that every pilot who gets a call about sick leave usage report it to the MEC Contract Admin committee so they can smack the company hard over violations.

Read the contract awareness bulletin that came out today...

look, if you're going to get a call from the CPO about your sick call, and it makes you worried, then just don't call in sick. fly sick. you're probably not sick anyways but rather just a commuter from DFW who failed to catch a flight. if we can get everyone to fly when they're supposedly sick then we can prove once and for all you're all just a bunch of thieves.


/hatin on commuting commuters and their little yellow tags.

and now I'm really glad that there is some anonymity on this board because otherwise there's no telling all the stuff I would've said to the cpsc, CPO and union by now.

Crew Resources update looks like more of the same. Contract 2012: if you let us have more big RJs, we'll buy some small planes, park some bigger ones, and displace a bunch of you to fly them. Please sign here...

ALPA: Gladly...can we borrow your pen?

Yes I saw that also, more displacements off of the 75/76 in August. That is literally crushing the JR FO's

Mrs. Carl won't let me retire yet. Some BS about "mid fifties is too young to retire".
