No, I just deleted it because I messed it up.

Verification Threshold is 15 days of missed work in a rolling 365 day
period.

 

Don't feed the troll. If you must respond, delete the majority of his drivel. He's using psyops 101, trying to put us in a defeatist mood.

 

This is not a bad thing, but it does not go far enough. Include ALPA time, LCA time, instructor time and management time. Also include IA and IAWC.

 

Here is POS96 Section 1.B.11

11.“International Partner Flying” means flying performed by any Foreign Air Carrier (who is not an Affiliate) (i) under or utilizing a designator code, trade name, brand, logo, trademarks, service marks, aircraft livery or aircraft paint scheme currently or in the future utilized by the Company or any Affiliate and/or (ii) as described in (i) above on aircraft on which the Company or any Affiliate has purchased or reserved blocked space or blocked seats for sale or resale to customers of the Company or any Affiliate.

Here's the definition in the TA

42 38. “International partner flying” means flying performed by any foreign air carrier (which is

43 not a Company affiliate):

44 a. under or utilizing a designator code, trade name, brand, logo, trademarks, service

45 marks, aircraft livery or aircraft paint scheme currently or in the future utilized by the

46 Company or any Company affiliate, and/or

1-4

Section 1 – Scope

b. on aircraft on which the Company or any Company 1 affiliate has purchased or

2 reserved blocked space or blocked seats for sale or resale to customers of the

3 Company or any Company affiliate.


The new 1.E.9 proscribes the company from doing what they can do now without MEC Chairman approval.

 

That's a reasonable point of view.

 

Medical Release Threshold is different altogether from a Verification Threshold.


G. Medical Release Requirement
1. The DHS or his designee may request further information from a pilot regarding his sickness or may require a pilot to provide a medical release when:
a. a pilot’s sick leave exceeds a medical release threshold, or
b. verification is required, or has been sought under Section 14 F. and the DHS is not able to assess the medical basis for the use of sick leave.
Note: Prior to requiring a medical release, the pilot must first be provided with an additional opportunity to submit verification that is acceptable to the DHS.
2. A medical release will be limited to a written authorization for release of medical information (release), provided the release is limited to the DHS for:
1a. the specific sickness for which the pilot claimed sick leave, and
2b. the day(s) on which the pilot claimed sick leave and the consecutive day(s) off immediately preceding and succeeding the day(s) on which a pilot claimed sick leave.
3. If, following the review of information provided pursuant to a medical release, the DHS is not able to satisfactorily assess the medical basis for the use of sick leave, the release may be expanded to include a Company designated doctor or other health care professional(s) and the Director – Health Services and the Senior Vice- President of Flight Operations.

Medical Release Threshold is 24 missed work days in a rolling 365 day period and 56 missed days in a rolling 3 year period. That equates to 128 hours in 1 year and 298 in a 3 year period.

Notice both releases are limited to the sick occurrences.

The myth that the company requires access to ones entire medical record is BUSTED

 

Listen, you are defending a contract that most pilots feel overwhelmingly overflowed the companies shopping cart while leaving them with a pack of gum.

If you are now or have worked within the inside group of our union that is cozy with management, you never have to worry about being targeted by management. Your reputation with your peers obviously means nothing to you. Regular line guys do care and aren't going to management birthday parties. They aren't interested in meeting you so you can nark to your management buddies, pointing as you peak around their shoulder. The same goes for SF, Slowplay, etc. You guys feel invincible with your special management relationships (and hope to someday become management). Of course some people do know you from your work within ALPA under your real name. Your willingness to defend TA2015 taints that name. It will be one of the most epic failures (whether it passes or not) in union history. Your reputation, along with those identified as selling it, will be cast in the same stone.

With that said, I believe a basic rule has been established, that if you post inaccurate or misleading information (misleading includes omitting important details that give a full understanding of good and bad), you should be banned.

If you refuse to include detail point by point of what you are defending, you should be banned. If you continue to incorrectly paraphrase and spin for perception or to create confusion through doubt, then you should be banned. PS- emphatically stating something with condescension does not make it so.

 

96 was a lifetime ago. seriously. We might as well be discussing Braniff's 1978 contract. Slowplay and his ilk would love for us to get bogged down with these useless comparisons.

There is enough offal in this TA as it is. Let's focus on that.

 

Moderators,

Yet another example of misleading. He is resting on "I messed it up" when caught omitting an important detail. One mistake like this and he could be forgiven. He's doing the same type of thing over and over. Sometimes we catch it and sometimes we don't. He's cherry picking in an attempt to change perception.

 

Please post ALL relevant information on this topic from the current contract and the TA. Title both of them and highlight the detail please.
