SWAPA stands up Strike Preparedness Committee
For those who might not read the SWAPA forum or emails.....
SWAPA Board of Directors met today and funded a Strike Preparedness Committee to conduct informational picketing regarding, among other things, the Company practice of pulling pilots off of trips for Covid crew exposure and depleting the pilot’s sick bank.

What’s really puzzling is the Company used to do it the right way.....but recently changed their policy to burn pilot’s sick banks instead.

Why pay someone to work your trip and also use company funds to pay you to sit at home when they can make you sit at home and drain your sick bank relieving them of a future liability?
I think it’s BS and you shouldn’t have to call off unless you’re not fit. If they want you to quarantine and you’re not symptomatic…then they can pay for it.

But I don’t understand how they can take money from the Government but then pocket it, and burn pilot’s sick time instead?
Even if it is legal, I think it is a miscalculation and they will lose in the court of public opinion.
