Was this captain based in FAT?

Sounds like that chief pilot needs to be reported to the FAA and when he is crying about being investigated we will tell him to suck it up. That mf'er would be no where to be found if the FAA unleashed the weight of a thousand hammers on that captain if something happened and they found out he was sick.

I'm certain I know who the ACP on duty was.

I'm just ticked off that i can't use vacation that the company provides me. They know how much vacation we all get. They should be staffed with reserves to cover every one of our vacation days. What we need in a new contract (among other things) is a mechanism that allows us to use our vacation. Vacation is hugely important to the quality of life for me and my family. To be continually denied vacation month after month, year after year is something that needs fixed.

I was able to bid for master vacation during transition. I had to call the person in charge and get my equipment and domicile changed. This was in 2015.

Upgrade dipped down to 2.5 years with the most senior guy in my class getting a DTW award.

Seriously? What did your CA say to you when he got off the phone?

Also what is an SCR and EGR?

SCR: Safety concern report, goes to safety department and the SMS program

EGR: Employee grievance report, usually for SP53 violations, but an official way to write people up for violations of company policies (including harassment and breaches of safety)

Finally logged into SAPA after months of not bothering and saw what all the fuss is about.

No, it can't have been MH because 1) he's a CP not an ACP, and 2) that's not the base in question, assuming that the guy/gal who posted that note was flying with a CA out of his/her base.
