Here is to wishing you a speedy and painless recovery. :) Regarding the DPMA questionaire and paper work, it is truly a big PITA. I hate to think what would happen if you were truly disabled and struggling for your life versus a non life threatening albeit disabling injury. As a user of both the DPMA and a former previous airline's disability program, one was a "one call and it did it all". In other words you made a call to central admin, told them you were going to be long term sick and they would ask you to call when ready to return. Your paycheck came on the same dates as usual, your income stayed the same and you never went "off payroll". I may be wrong.. but I think you continued to build sick leave (can't be sure) while out. The whole object of either program is to allow a safety net to prevent financial distress if such an injury or illness would prevent you from exercising the privileges of your ATP. I am glad we have DPMA but I wish it was a little more user friendly. Sorry, but it looks like you need to fill out the paper work!:mad: Get well, stay warm, OC Also spoke with ALPA (contracts and insurance extensions) and both have been very helpful. I run out of sick leave in 2 weeks so will find out how it all works in short order. ALPA med is also assisting and is fully engaged on getting the FAA paperwork done. |

DPMA is just one easy page--just filled it out over the weekend. Temporary Disability (TD) is about 10-13 pages and much more painful. Took me about 2 hours to sort through and make sense of it all. Spoke with both over the phone last week and everyone was very helpful. I don't plan on having the doctor send it in--I will collect after he's done and send it myself to ensure it gets done.

Out of base GS given out today at 3:09 for the late London. Looks highly irregular and based on the months awards I find it hard to believe no NY 7era had a in base request in. If you did have a GS in and were legal for the trip call Skeds and claim your free 16 hours pay.

Yep! You have to be booked 24 hours prior, IIRC.

Is there any recourse to this scenario.
Was supposed to end rotation today, awarded GS for tomorrow. Ended up getting rerouted and now don't end up finishing current rotation until tomorrow. GS is gone, awarded now to someone else. I know I get some reroute pay, but is the GS just gone now? Thanks |
