Message from the Chairman—Winter Storm Nemo Update

As winter storm Nemo approaches the northeast, please keep the following in mind:

Contract reassignments are handled under provisions of Contract 02, except trip-pay protection is no longer triggered 24 hours prior to the pairing origination. Now trip pay is guaranteed when the trip was awarded or assigned.

Please familiarize yourself with the order to fly provisions that are in effect:

21-S Order to Fly
21-S-1 When a Pilot receives an assignment from the Company that, in the opinion of the
Pilot, would violate the Agreement or is otherwise improper, the Pilot may:

21-S-1-a Request that the assignment be reviewed by a flight qualified management Captain prior to acceptance of the assignment; and

21-S-1-b Request that the flight qualified management Captain issue an order to the Pilot to comply with the assignment.

21-S-2 After reviewing such assignment, the flight qualified management Captain shall: 21-S-2-a Advise the Pilot that the assignment is either proper or improper; and

21-S-2-b If requested by the Pilot, issue an order to the Pilot to comply with any assignment that in the opinion of the management Pilot is not in violation of the Agreement and is otherwise considered to be a proper assignment.

21-S-3 After issuing an order to comply with an assignment, the flight qualified management Captain shall cause the order to be reflected in the audit trail of the assignment along with the issuer’s initials.

21-S-4 If the flight qualified management Captain elects not to issue an order to the Pilot, the Pilot may decline the assignment, and shall be held harmless for such declination.

21-BB Waiver of Sections 5 & 20 Provisions
A Pilot may waive the entitlements and provisions in Section 5 and Section 20 where expressly indicated in those Sections. If the Company is notifying the Pilot of an assignment or reassignment that requires a waiver, or is otherwise in communication with the Pilot when a situation requiring a waiver exists, it must notify the Pilot that his consent is required. If in the actual performance of an assignment or reassignment a situation requiring a waiver develops, and the Company is not otherwise required to communicate with the Pilot, the Pilot’s consent shall be implied, unless he communicates otherwise to the Company.

If crew scheduling is asking you to waive the contact an order to fly request by the pilot is appropriate, crew scheduling must specifically state they are asking you to waive scheduling provisions of the contract if that is what they are doing.


If you need any assistance, please call the UDO hotline at 888-990-4227 for time-critical events after hours.

Fly safe and fly the contract. Please be safe and take care of your families.

Fraternally,

Jayson Baron
