I don't care what you do, you will always have a few abusers. I'm just tired of hearing it from DALPA. The *****ing about it ought to be coming from the Company. This is a case of DALPA doing the Company's job. DALPA's job is to represent us. End of discussion.
Where are you hearing it from DALPA. I have not seen a single thing put out from the union and your hearing it all the time?

I have been told to WS trips between IOE and TOE because even though I have a bid schedule for May, once IOE is done my schedule doesn't matter but I can WS. I have also heard not to WS because the could mess with my TOE scheduling. Lastly I have heard the training pay will stop when I finish IOE.

So my questions 1) if there really is a month break between IOE and TOE does my reserve schedule already assigned just go away because I am not "qualified" to fly it, but I could WS and fly the same trips? 2) Would scheduling WS between IOE and TOE really mess with TOE scheduling or would they just canx the WS? (yes I am former military and do not yet have a full grasp of bidding if I got this wrong) 3) If there is a month break between IOE and TOE and training pay stops at IOE and I don't WS, I not getting paid for a month, right?

I know this is a way jr question for this forum, but it is not new hire or poolie and doesn't deserve its own thread.

Oh, the company can't afford that? Yes, they can. Not my problem. Next.
Isn't that what we have now? Sounds cost neutral. I like it.

With manning as bad as it is, can the company even afford to fire guys for sick leave abuse, even if they can prove it?

That's a leverage-able position.

I would be interested to know how many hours of sick leave go unused every year.

If I was him, I'd start there and work down. Pilot sick leave "abuse" (is that even provable?) would be about #5,839 on my list of important stuff.
We seriously seriously need to end fuel hedging abuse.

First of all, no question is too dumb for the mentors, that's what they are there for. I think....you can fly WS trips after IOE, but no transoceanic until TOE. They WILL ensure you fly TOE, any trips that may impact it will be denied.
All of us were new here once, you will slowly learn the system, whether it's bu osmosis or scarring....
