I have more faith in our group than that. Even presently, when you help no one whatsoever to decline instead of ignoring, I see roughly half of pilots declining. If they knew it could speed up coverage and get others flying green slips they don't want, i think we could better than number a lot.

Out of Base Swap Board
 

Pretty sure you can't swap trips out of base on the swap board but can you pick up out of base trips on the swap board?

No. You can only WS out of base and even that won't be awarded until the 0700 PCS the day prior.

QHCP reimbursement
 

Are we able to get reimbursed for a Dr’s visit to meet the QHCP requirement?

Only if the company has officially told you that they will not accept a QHCP certificate in your case. If you are providing a doctor's note on your own accord to satisfy the verification requirement, then no. 14 F.5.

There are 2 scenarios where they will reimburse for verification.

1. You need to verify and are under the QHCP requirement (100 - <160 hrs in the look back) and the company exercises its option under 14 F.2. to require a Doctor's Certificate in your case rather than accepting a QHCP certificate.

2. You are required to get a Doctor's Certificate under a "good faith basis" inquiry under 14 F.4.

Let's 86 this entire verification, it's pilot harrassment.

Agreed.


....

I agree. I’d like to see it completely eliminated and that’s coming from someone that has never had to verify a single sick call. My gut tells me the best we will probably end up with are larger numbers for the triggers, but I hope they knock it out of the park and eliminate it.

Stupid concession that was a must have from management. I'd walk a line over this. Union let us down even considering the program. No excuse.

I think I read somewhere that sick calls since this contract were down like 18% or some crazy number. Doubt the company gives this one back easily.
