Health Information Privacy
How To File a Complaint
Following the link for how to file a complaint, there is a section called "Before You File a Complaint". From the Health & Human Services, Office for Civil Rights page it clearly states: OCR cannot investigate complaints against entities that are not covered entities. These are NOT covered entities and are NOT required to comply with the Privacy and Security Rules: Employers

So you could use that form to file a complaint against your doctor/ health care provider, or insurance company for violating your HIPPA rights but not your employer.

Good catch. I didn't notice that. I wonder if there is anything else that covers employers.

I'll tell you what is covered... the FAA. They take a dim view of employers pressuring pilots to fly while sick. If you feel you've been subject to such pressure, after a discussion with your reps and CP, make a call to the FAA and keep them abreast of your situation. If something happens while you are flying sick, it will be to your extreme benefit if you've been in contact with the fuzz. Otherwise it's all on you.

It is actually the best way to tell non-swamp from swamp. Pine trees can't stand wet feet at all. My property has a few areas of pine trees, and when we get flooded those places are usually islands. That thing in the pic was planted by the former owner, and it has really grown in the last few years. My wife HATES it...

The leader of DPA will be elected by the line pilots at Delta. Caplinger has said repeatedly he will not run.

It will be a great day when ALPA is gone and we not longer have leaders who are first officers getting 92 hours of captan pay plus $1000 a month plus all expenses.

Why talk of restoring our profession when you are getting a deal like that for working Tuesday and Wednesday.

Before you start crying about how hard they work, I challenge any and all Delta pilots to wander into the DALPA office on a Monday or a Friday and find a 92 hour flight pay loss leader.

You are more likely to spot Santa and the Easter Bunny.

I don't think flying the plane prior to DAL taking ownership is the issue, but a plane that is not configured for revenue operational service being counted for Scope compliance.

Section 1.28 defines "Fleet" as aircraft in service, undergoing maintenance, or operational spares.

I don't think reconfiguring an aircraft not yet in service for revenue service counts towards that definition. It did not at NWA, but DAL might have a different history there. I hope not.

For ratio purposes if DAL pilot butts are not in 717 seats generating revenue, then neither should DCI butts be in 76 seater's doing it either.
