Also, how is this not a direct violation of status quo?


Email is out. Gloves are coming off.

36 minutes from company email to ALPA response. Something tells me they knew it was coming, the response is too well written to be cobbled that fast.

Keep in mind that this is also the company's third try on the JETCRW upgrade..

I would love to see what is being said on bluepilots but the admin who is/was updating the seniority list is still AWOL. I'm sure it's quite entertaining at the moment.

Whitehammer is probably the admin. You know how possessive he can be....

Well. How about NOBODY checks in. I'm inclined to refuse. I am an adult. I have never in 16 years of flying caused a late flight because of my late arrival.

I've personally only seen a pilot delay a flight once. Yes, that was at JBU but crew services was fully aware of the issue.

If no one participates in check in we can't all be disciplined. Also ALPA cannot say not to participate. They will tell you we are required to follow the FOM.

So on reserve I'll check in at my assigned time and then take the full hour to get the plane ready. Because they always give an hour between report and departure

Crew services: Hi, we have kind of a short call out for you, can you be at the gate in an hour?
Me last week: It might be tight, but I'll do my best (arrives at gate 1:20 after call).
Me from here on out: No. I'm going to need 2 hours.

Oh it's always 2 hours just saying don't expect me to depart the gate 20 minutes after that time
