Man, that guy sure does look like SD in earlier years!

Reserve sick call

Any sick call commandos out there?

What are the rules governing calling in sick while on reserve? Do we still get 2.5 hours for each day out? What about if assigned a trip and then you call in sick for it, does the sick call pay out for the trip? Any blowback from the company if you call in sick with in 12 hours for a trip? Not sure how all this works with calling in sick while on reserve(actually never done it)...searched this forum, but not much came up.
Thanks.

When on a trip, you use your sick time towards the value of the trip. When on reserve, you'll get sick pay prorated towards your guarantee for the month. No blowback at all. I've never heard a peep from the company about my sick calls. Right now, the company is requiring the chief pilots to make random phone calls to check up on some sick calls, but they're pretty easy going from what I understand. Hope this helps a little.

Anyone else having trouble with Icrew or DBMS?

50% of that 30% was accomplished by you, right? Who can resist that smile!

That's what you get for wearing Sex Panther to high school.

You also whispered in the girls' ears that there IS money in cargo, right?

"60% of the time it works every time" - LMAO :D

This should be the slogan for our standardization AND the MEC :eek:

iCrew was working fine for me from home about 30 minutes ago...but sometimes it comes and goes, so give it awhile and try again.

EDIT: Out of curiosity I just went on iCrew again (10:53am east) and it worked fine.

Unfortunately, it could also be the slogan for Delta's DCI/Alaska/AF scope.

The trip will be removed and you will get credited your guarantee; 70 hrs divided by the max number of on call days for a month. This month it is 18, so 3.89 hrs per sick call day. If you are mid rotation and have flown on the day you call in sick on, you will not get sick pay, nor will you get less credit than min reserve day. The subsequent days will be a R sick day.

If you are sick, you are sick, period. Let them call, give them what they ask within the confines of the PWA.

Also, make sure you call in well, and a "OK" is noted shortly after on your schedule. There have been some issues with pilots calling in well and it not showing up in the system. I had this happen to me a few months back.

Man I hope I get to see this soon!

Gives me an idea, of they used real SEALs do much so their names couldn't even be used in the credits, how about next time use real airline pilots for an airline related movie? I wonder how that would go? :D
