This conversation is just another example of how CE has failed us. The language is pretty clear but somewhere the company decided the 12 hour buffer is part of your training (if it is - why don't we get paid for it?) which then negates the actual wording of the CBA! Just another example of the "we have bigger fish to fry" mentality from CE. What they don't understand is that once all the little fish are gone - the "bigger" fish starve to death!

Let's say you have a 10 day block of reserve starting on Monday. You bid for and receive training starting at 6:00 am Tuesday. With the 12 hour buffer, your reserve day on Monday goes away. You now don't have training in the middle of a block of R-days. Now say you have the same scenario, but your R-days start on Sunday. Now after the 12 hour buffer knocks out your Monday R-day, you still have 1 R-day on Sunday. This is what the contract says, you must have one R-day on either side of training. Bidding for two R-days on either side of training just protects you from screwing it up. |

Here is what it says.
If the pilot’s recurrent training conflicts with a block of R-days but does not split that block (i.e., it does not leave an R-day(s) both before and after the recurrent training), then only the R-days in conflict with recurrent training shall be dropped as a phase-in conflict and the pilot shall remain responsible for the remaining R-days. ii. If the pilot’s recurrent training splits a block of R-days, then the entire block shall be dropped as a phase-in conflict and the pilot shall not be responsible for any of the R-days in that block. |

The CBA did not say - your training and buffer- it only says if your training falls in a block of R days!

I can't find anything about a buffer in this! Please show me where the buffer is part of your training.

Once "TBD" has been achieved (whenever that is), this may become moot. If you have a 12 hour buffer either side of training, getting it to "touch" your R-days IAW the new contract would be like trying to touch two similar pole magnets. So, I'm not sure how the new CBA will account for buffers and still allow training to conflict with R-days and drop them. I would guess that any conflict resulting in an R-day drop would trigger the whole block to go away. |
