For the third time the statement by the UAL pilot was about third party verification. I made no comment or statement about anything you have posted. In fact I voted no on the TA because of the sick section more then anything else. Third party verification is not there.

 

So you are saying Sedgewick is no longer involved with DAL?

 

Woah. What happened to this page?

 

Looks like the HTML code was corrupted.

 

They are not involved with the pilot sick leave verification and we have a signed letter from the company stating they will not be involved.

 

This is distracting....

 

That, amigo, needs to be published......

 

I asked 2 separate P2P guys this very question and all they would tell me was it was not Segwick. They couldn't/wouldn't say it was a a Delta employee group. Where did you get this info because it doesn't match what I was told. Medical stuff was the biggest (but not only) reason I was a no.

Ferd

 

Annuitize AA's frozen pension then get back to us.

 

It was put out.

This letter follows up on the discussions we had during and following our negotiations regarding sick leave and, in particular, questions surrounding the confidentiality of medical information provided to the Company under the new Section 14 verification and medical release provisions.
In the provisions contained in Section 14 F. of the tentative agreement (“TA”) and currently pending membership ratification, pilots who are required to provide verification of sickness will submit such verification to the Company’s Director – Health Services (“DHS”). The DHS will receive and maintain a pilot’s medical information, including such verifications, in a manner that ensures appropriate privacy safeguards and is compliant with the health care provider privacy/disclosure protections of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provided in the attached technical, physical, and administrative safeguards that the Company will adopt and implement. The DHS will not share any identified medical information received as part of the verification provisions of Section 14 F. outside of the health services department, except as expressly provided in Section 14 G. (i.e., unless and until a medical release has been sought under the provisions of Section 14 G. and thereafter the medical release is expanded to include the SVP – Flight Operations under Section 14 G. 3.) Furthermore, the Company will not share outside of Delta, including to the FAA, medical information received as part of the verification provisions of Section 14 F., or the medical release provisions of Section 14 G., unless: (1) required by subpoena, court order or legal process; or (2) when specifically permitted by the pilot’s authorization for release of protected health information consistent with the health care provider privacy/disclosure protections of HIPAA.
