When you are away from your base (e.g. overnight after flying) they will book and pay for it though.

PSA Help, could you please provide a section and paragraph in the contract that states this? I would not have posted if I wasn't experiencing this scenario as I posted! I've looked in section 5B2a and 6 and neither have verbiage supporting the company's requirement to book and pay for my hotel up front. I'm on my first RAP after IOE, in my awarded domicile, and my RLD's begin tommorow. Crew scheduling told me they are not required to book or cover my hotel when I'm back in domicile. I know they will reimburse it later, but new hires should know the policy and location if they hear the same coming out of training.
This is a great example of the need to know your contract in and out so someone's else's lack of knowledge doesn't create a hardship for you.

Thanks in advance for the help and all you do.

What they told you is true, but your house is your base until your RLD's. So if your in domicile then your not in your base, unless your domicile and base are the same town.
Section 6 first paragraph. I think there is a LOA signed a couple of years ago that's goes into more detail on the PSA ALPA website.

Also in a general commit, the MEC should authorize changes to the contract to include the pertinent LOAs where they apply in the contract.
I have read other contracts, and they are living documents that include LOA changes where they apply. Attaching them in the back worked better with fewer LOA's and less pilots and new hires. Additionally, not all the LOA's are in the actual contract but are listed on the PSA alpa website.

What's the uniform allowance?

Does the headset have to be TSO'd?

Thanks

$400 after the first year. Initial uniform comes out of your paycheck, and is divided up over several months. You only have to buy the uniform pieces you want.
