ID'S
 

Company ID expires end of month. Because of the need to preserve cash no ship to crew members.
Call Chief pilot offer to pay to have it sent.
Nope can't do it.

This is IMHO a fail by the Company.
For sure there are issues with security and chain of custody...but IT does not have to be this hard.

I am sure lot's of pilot's have not set foot in base in weeks and don't want to commute to get their ID.

Rant over....back to throwing talk about throwing F.O.'s off flight deck's

There’s a new topic of discussion... Flica BOTS. I’m gonna start hunting this down especially if I see a trip picked up whilst the said pilot is operating.

Welcome to 2015.

what a horrible life to have to use one of your 31 days off while on min guarantee you get your ID

They cannot ship them to the end user, that’s a TSA thing.

I showed up to work with an expired ID and they just made me go through normal security without harassing me over fluids etc. I then proceeded to OPS and picked up my new ID And started my trip 🤷🏼‍♂️

But yeah I wasn’t going to drive 2 hours or commute to base on my day off, especially right now.

So union email say's this : If your badge expires and your new badge is not available during your last required duty that includes a show time at the airport, please call base management to have your new ID shipped

But if you call base management they say they can't/won't ship?

ya, I don’t know? I went through the same thing in April. They claimed it was a TSA regulation.

Maybe they recently got it approved by base management

They will mail the ID.

Just called JFK ops yesterday. They said they can’t mail it.

Move above them, submit an FCR, this has been hashed out by other people, they can mail it.

Yeah idk why people are saying they can't mail the badges. They mailed me my badge last year without question.

There is nothing legally that states they cannot mail IDs. They FedEx/UPS them hub to hub all the time. The concern is driven from a corporate security policy about mailing individual IDs to the end user. The primary reason is because of lack of chain of custody, the possibility of a carrier losing the package with the ID, and the fact that if too many IDs go missing, the company has to recall and reissue every ID. This all adds up to it taking several approvals to ship to the end recipient’s home address. So, most of the time base management just says it’s not allowed.

Boy is it a slow news day here so far....

Given it’s a Friday and trending with bad news, you want a busy news cycle at 9E?

any minute now the realignments gonna be posted......
