I was just resisting the thought that he would go through all the trouble to come back under a new name.

... And that he would think that we wouldn't figure it out.

 

Disagree. Out of curiosity, which valid contractual problems needing debate and improvement require addressing with precedence over this?

Furthermore, we have an arbitrary dispensation of decisions on individual sick occurrence verifications on a regular basis coming out of the fourth floor. There has even been questioning from that entity on the timing and need of various medical procedures and when they are scheduled by the patient/pilot.

Big IF: If it is a true fact that third party verification is being negotiated to handle the administering and verification of sick time, that is a giant Pandora's box that just was opened in regards to medical records, the sharing of such records, and HIPAA.

Anyone with knowledge, please contribute how sick leave verification is used at other airlines.

 

need to pickup some new shirts, heard a cut above and landerwood are the best but another guy said landerwood fabric feels kinda cheap

anyone have good gouge on the two and which is better

 

After a serious intervention by several Oregon cheerleaders he was reborn.

 

they're doing interventions?

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

 

Carl,

Small point of clarification. (Yes, I know you know this too.)

A person's employer can ask their EMPLOYEE for a "Doctor's note or other information". They CAN NOT ask the hospital or go 'VFR Direct' to the Doctor without the employee's consent.

Elliot

P.S. I'm fairly certain our CBA does not waive an employee's requirement to authorize consent for HIPPA.

 

Not to distract from the contract politics..but I'm headed out to BOS next week for my bud's retirement from the CG after 27 years, and our classmate who just made Flag is presiding over the festivities. I'd like to bring each of them some High West Whiskey from Park City, but I plan on riding the JS (at the Captain's discretion, hopefully), and I can't find where a couple bottles would be prohibited in my bag riding the JS like they would be as a carry-on in coach.

Anybody have the gouge? Thanks in advance..CG

 

If you are using KCM, it shouldn't be an issue.

 

Your bottles are fine. Just don't open them inflight to start the party early.

 

I don't think a couple of replies to your question are completely accurate. If you are selected for additional screening at KCM and sent to the pax lines and you're not in uniform you are held to the same standards as passengers for liquids. From the KCM website:

KCM Policies and Procedures


Notice: The Transportation Security Administration made changes to the KCM program effective on January 13, 2015.


Uniforms


Effective January 13, 2015, crewmembers are no longer required to wear uniforms when utilizing the KCM access points at airports nationwide. Uniformed crewmembers are allowed certain exemptions by the TSA when they are screened at KCM access points and passenger screening checkpoints. With the change of the uniform requirement, these exemptions at the KCM access point and at the passenger screening checkpoint will be permitted in accordance with the following:
Notice: When approaching a KCM access point, non-uniformed crewmembers should wear their airline ID visible on their outer most garment above their waist. This will assist the Transportation Security Officer (TSO) in identifying you as a crewmember approaching the KCM podium and not a passenger attempting to breach the sterile area of the airport.
