What life circumstances? It's a union by the way and they are violating the contract not taking their 5 jrms. On rsv and on the standing avail list. Sometimes it takes a little peer pressure to get unified. It's not divisive imo, it's tough love.

Thanks for the lack of professionalism. For being a 19 year ALPA member, LEC representive, 7 year Safety Chairman, etc. it would have been nice to be told if I was doing something wrong. I dropped two Reserve days in April and wanted to get those two days back. I made myself available on those two days. I removed myself after being told that I can't do that. I hope if anyone else on this list doesn't know that they would be called or sent a message. It's pretty low to call someone out without knowing the real intentions. I came from an airline that was ALPA and didn't have a contract that was remotely close to ours. I think a lot of us are still learning the ins and outs of it.

My name has been corrected and is not on that list. ��

During these tense times with the company, "not knowing" is no excuse!

THIS is what I mean by posting without knowing the circumstances.

I was called by a friend yesterday and told that I cannot list to get my days of Reserve back. I removed it from the SA yesterday immediately so as not to get blamed from any wrong doing. Obviously, it didn't help from someone's lack of professionalism.

Being a 19 year Alpa member and not reading the scheduling section of the contract seems slightly irresponsible to me. Our contract is like a cliffs notes version of most contracts. It's incredibly short and section 25 and 12 can be read in less than 30 minutes.

If it was an honest mistake it looks like the list did its job and he corrected the violation after committing it unknowingly even after an email about it came from the SPSC committee yesterday

These are pilots violating the contract, a contract that we are trying to enforce while management picks at it, line by line, section by section.

You deserve no "protection" when you choose to violate a CBA that you are required to follow.

You can be kicked out of ALPA and then fired for abusing the contract? Do some of you guys even realize that? You think there is a reason for that? Its to keep fools in line and not undercut their fellow pilots, which these pilots are doing.

And for the record I give ZERO care to people and their "situation" and it being an excuse to bend/break the rules. 1500+ pilots on this list, all with their own "situations," being dealt with, and the majority doing it within the bounds of the contract.

Serious medical issues, bills, need help? We have a process for that and it doesnt include selling your pilots out to get it.

Amen brother!! Preach it!

Agreed.

The max out of pocket on our medical plans is about $7500 for a family. If you are on the HRA plan the company kicked in $3000 assuming you rolled over no money from the previous year so you are only on the hook for $4500. That's a catastrophic year, as bad as it can get. Of those bills you are responsible you can successfully negotiate those down in most cases by talking to the biller. I would wager that you could bring that $4500 down to about $3000. That's less than a six month FA got in signing bonus and we aren't even in the same universe as to what we are negotiating for (rightfully so).

$3000 as bad as it gets. Don't give me this medical bills excuse. It's weak.

Now if you are coming back from Short or long term disability I can see how you may have encountered some real hardship from lack of income and maybe I can give a pass for choking on gravy within the bounds of the contract which there are many ways.

Don't really see a reason to be violating the contract though

Edit to add: the company you are violating the contract for wants to gut that healthcare.
