Technically yes, realistically, no. Sure is a lot of work to spank someone for busting the JA limit.

If you're interested in pursuing this, I'd start with the ALPA Constitution and By-Laws Article 8 sec 1A. I would think (9) and to a lesser extent (3) would be applicable, as well as (10) which is a catch-all.

(3) Willful disobedience or failure to comply with an established policy or any other decision of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, the Executive Council, or the member’s Master Executive
Council, Local Executive Council, or Local Council.

(9) Acting in any manner to circumvent, defeat or interfere with collective bargaining between the Association and an employer or with existing collective bargaining agreements

(10) Doing any other act that undermines the Association as an institution or interferes with its performance of its legal or contractual obligations

B. A charge or charges may be brought against any member (including any Inactive member) of the Association by a Local Council, Local Executive Council, or Master Executive Council; or by a
Local Council Chairman, a Master Executive Council Chairman, or by any National Officer of the Association, except as provided in Section 1C. A council shall bring a charge through a resolution,
which shall designate an individual in the charging council to act on behalf of the council. An official shall bring a charge in a letter to the accused member. The charging resolution or letter shall be
served on the accused member in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3A.

 

The above IS flying the CBA. Now non-revving yourself around to problem spots in the system, then calling scheduling tell them you have put yourself on airport standby... That would NOT be flying the CBA. If you don't want anyone, including commutters to ever make a change to his schedule which benefits the pilot,, just say that.

My understanding is that scheduling these days is not will to do the compound deals they did a year and a half ago.

I do like the peacetime / wartime analogy that was made.

 

[QUOTE=Flytolive719;2335150]Because, when our contract is elevated to industry standard, you will not be identifying with the unionized car factory worker. You will be make FOUR TIMES what the average American HOUSEHOLD makes (you probably already make 3X).

I dont think low pilot pay is on this administration's agenda. Anymore than the last administration ensured we had an industry standard contract in 8 years of power.

 

For every JA over 5 the company gets fined 300% of the captains pay. Some people had way more than that last year. The company paid the fines and moved on. It will probably happen again.

 

Wonder where that cash goes... I'm thinking maybe the MEC has no incentive to stop JA's in excess of 5.

 

A valid point.

For example, we get an hour of pay for an failure to notify 12.H NCC. Easy money.

Do we really want scheduling to do their job and notify us?? When I can see it's late and collect the NCC and pay. Probably not. I'll take the 5 or 6 extra hours of pay every year

 

No Sir, it is not! Taking the JRM and or MUP is CBA compliant! Taking MUP with a side of RLS from this or that is not CBA compliant! Scheduling may only offer JRM or MUP when drafting. Maybe you misunderstood what I wrote.

 

I got a couple of calls over the last few days saying they were dropping/releasing to cover trips yesterday

 

They weren't happy about it. When the company was confronted about it the the schedulers who assigned the excessive JAs couldn't be tracked. The company claimed the signatures or records (I can't remember which) were gone. I believe it was around $142k.

So do the math, the pilot gets 200% and the union gets 300%. 500% and we can't get a contract? The worst offenders had over 12+ JAs....by September.

 

This! ^^^ RJRJ and others here need to brush up on what's outside the CBA.
