An assumption again.
What if they don't call? What is your legal defense then?
The Railway Labor Act Simplified
This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.

I don't know if he'll work for both sides at the same time... or perhaps he will.

While nitpicking language is important and a totally valid pastime on the flight deck or in the forums, it’s not sufficient reason to pull the “no”lever, IMO. One thing that I haven’t heard mentioned is that once a CBA is signed, who gives a crap what the dependability policy is, or what defines positive contact?
As an ALPA-protected pilot, it takes an absolutely callous and intentional indifference to safety or a drug bust (sometimes more than one) to get fired. Your job is safe under the vast majority of circumstances. Don’t clean, don’t make positive contact... you might get harassed if you stand still long enough for it, but your career isn’t in jeopardy.
Yes, exercising vigilance against language failings or abuse on the company’s part is important, but it isn’t make-or-break in most circumstances.
This is my observation from years of ALPA membership and watching the dumbest yahoos on the planet continue their careers alongside their elite peers without fail. Unless they buzz the beach in Mexico at 300 knots.

I don't think you get canned for a flyby either.... but you will get a cursory call from your friendly pro stans volunteer.
