The Scheduling Handbook says it this way: "When it is not a proffer, the pilot is required to accept the award or assignment if he has been contacted and notified of the award." 23.E.3.a.2 "A pilot who submits a PCS request for a beyond next day rotation, or a next-day rotation under Section 23 E. 3. a. 2), is responsible for ascertaining whether his request has been granted and acknowledging his award. Crew Scheduling is not required to notify a pilot of such an award." Knowledge is power. |

You have a long history of "speaking for the company." In fact, you do this every time there is a pending contract change. It's hard to tell if you just feel special having "secrets" whispered in your ear or if you have another agenda in play. Just who keeps feeding you information? And have you ever questioned whether someone might be using you to help undermine the pilot group by feeding you deliberate false information? You would also logically think that if someone wanted to feed me information it would be lots of wide bodies are coming if we do what the company wants. Sadly that was not the answer. |

But I'm apparently in the minority. I don't understand why guys want to work that much. It's a sad state of affairs when some clowns can't live within their means, and then proceed to **** away QOL for everyone else. Pathetic, really. |

If the new procedures are a 13 hr notification and acknowledgement is no longer necessary, then the CNO needs to be redone as well! I don't want ANY robo calls, I only want text messages! Right now a phone number for a voice call has to be on there for On Duty and On Duty @ Rest. That needs to be eliminated.

Scrappy is telling the MEC this LOA will add a significant number of jobs.
Since the first of the year we have been averaging over 5000 green slips a month. If this LOA is unchanged and passes MEMRAT the number of Green slips will increase significantly, well above 5000 a month due to all of the additional pilots required by the gains Scrappy says we are making. If the number of green slips goes down in the months following the LOA, any way you spin it we lost jobs. Even with new hires, if additional jobs are created with the LOA the green slips will rise at least until 2015 when management could perhaps get caught up. |

Our "productivity" is getting out of control.
It costs jobs and it eliminates family and leisure time. Every time we allow more flying for pay and no credit it just continues our steady march toward no limits at all on the number of hours people can fly in a month. This TA apparently is going to go almost all the way. Reference Donatelli's bullet point: · Adopts FAR FDP limits for actual operations. That would seem to suggest that we've pretty much given up on any notion of limiting the amount of flying an individual pilot can perform in a month. If its legal under the FAR FDP limit then we can do it. No more contractual limits. I think that's a horrible philosophy for our union to adopt. I don't want to work 99 hours. I want time off as well as more money. I would much rather have an old fashioned "cap" and then progress to the next higher paying seat that much faster to make my money. But I'm apparently in the minority. If every widebody captain was capped at 75 hours just think how many more widebody captains we would need. And so on down the list. |
