You finally admitted it in your last post that they MAY take you off the trip without pay, and that it isn’t mandatory, which destroys your entire “argument” up until now; but again you are intentionally dodging the idea that doing so wouldn’t be in their best interest, except for when reaching the extremes in time and money lost. This is getting ridiculous, it’s eroding your credibility, and it’s tiresome. I’m very new here and even I can see right through it. God bless
I'm talking about SWAPA saying it was NOT pay protected, and the black and white language saying it is NOT pay protected.
I actually DON'T have a problem with this. It is highly unlikely I will ever be in this position.
This whole thing started because a cheerleader kept saying it WAS pay protected.
I simply said "SWAPA says it's NOT".
Then I was chastised to "wait for the language".
When the TA was released and the language was posted.... guess what? It is NOT pay protected.
Again, I don't really care.
But what I do find very telling is that some cheerleaders can't accept what SWAPA says and can't accept black and white language on what apparently is an issue they are so emotionally invested in that they have to keep twisting logic so far around that they end up arguing against themselves!
All I can do is point to what SWAPA said, or point to the language.... I can't force delusional people to comprehend it.
And I don't really care because someone else was the one pushing this ridiculous notion that a reserve would be pay protected for premium in the first place! Not my battle or cup of tea anyway.
I have offered a friendly wager that if the pilot actually pushes to test this unlikely situation AND gets pay protected, I will buy a round. But if they lose the pay, they have to buy a round. So far no response?
