Thanks

Sputnick,

FYI. There are two times that you can not pick up/fly:

1. Any day that shows vacation.
2. Any day that an APD touches.

For example, you can drop a full 4 day trip by using your APD on day 1 only and then you could pick up/fly on days 2-4 but not on day 1.

But if you dropped the same 4 day trip by using your APD for all 4 days you would not be able to pick up/fly on any of the 4 days.

Hurt? Right.

i love this logic on the sick policy spin they used. They jump on the best in the industry sick leave line because its a good sound bite, nice spin.... The hours available if needed, is a good amount of hours. HOWEVER, if you use those hours at or above the 15 days, suddenly you're guilty until proven innocent and an "Abuser"....

btw, both sides of the issue have guys that stepped out of bounds. We would be better served to remember that as we post.
Only one side is being paid to post. The sad part is, they are being paid by the very people the mock and belittle.

That's a big difference.

That shouldn't be an issue. Back in 2005 during BK I was a volunteer, I went into the office on my off days, answered pilot questions or called pilots. I did that all on my off days, no fpl. I didn't agree with the Chairman at the time, and voted against LOA 50 and 51. No one in the admin cared how I executed my vote, they just cared that I was willing to volunteer and did my job.

Have you guys heard about a new hire on OE answering a cellphone ON ROTATION!
Saying something like: "sorry, can't talk right now, call you later".

Not that it matters, with the fed on js!
