This topic has been beaten to death and now you’ve enticed Cuj out of his lair to offer up some wildly inaccurate and ridiculous statements and he doesn’t even work here. SM is WELL within his rights to do this and you guys really should be THANKING him. Yes, those videos help recruitment where I’ve worked in the past. Let me tell you it is not an easy job.

Either Swayne is violating the contract or he isn't. If he is, then there is no excuse why ALPA would allow it to continue.

If the company takes him off on S/A to do a specific flight that's pretty much management rights. So is the rest of what he's doing. They can remove and pay protect a guy, then stick SM in on a flight under S/A pretty much at will... (assuming the rules haven't changed much since I left)

Lots of free time on your hands lately?

According to Varsity, Swayne is violating the contract according to Section 24. Arbitrators don't care if the contract is violated only occasionally. A violation is a violation. I have had grievances filed for as little as 4 minutes of flight time and won.

I do not see how he is violating the contract.
If someone thinks he is, they should file a dispute and show harm.
We have quite a few pilots on occasional S/As for various reasons.

I can almost guarantee you did not have a grievance over 4 minutes. Or that it was seen by an arbitrator. You might want to check your terminology.

Would seeking to film a cockpit of a parked aircraft for a kid's Zoom class and being denied by Envoy considered harm?
Why can Swayne film for his own profit, while other pilots can't even film a parked airplane for educational purposes?
Where is the equal protection?

Swayne can film because company allows him.
There is no equal protection under the RLA.
This falls under management rights. Swayne is not the only pilot doing S/As, and when he is bought off his trips, bunch of line pilots pick up his stuff at 150%. Kinda hard to show real harm to our pilots. I don't have the latest number, but 2019 it was around 50 pilots who did recruitment trips as S/As. Swayne wasn't even the most active one.
