Whut????

when you are on hold, the microphone on your phone is still live and the line is still being recorded.

So if (for example, while on hold) you say something disparaging about the scheduler, it will be heard and recorded, and you could be disciplined.

BTW pretty much all companies/customer service phone lines operate this way.

This is why it’s critical to hit the mute button and leave it on until the scheduler is talking again. That way you can give healthy commentary to how you are getting screwed while you wait for the scheduler to find his ass with both hands.

Oh yea, we need our medicals paid for by the company like every other major out there. Jeez

Everybody has their own priorities. That one is pretty low on my personal list of things that need to get fixed, but I understand the underlying sentiment. Perhaps a yearly stipend that could be used for work related items: medicals, uniforms, luggage, headsets, etc, could be a catch all for this kind of thing.

They pay for expedited passport renewals....why not medicals?

It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if they paid for the medical. They already pay for uniforms (except the black jacket), luggage, and headsets (el cheapo ones).

Someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe on Boeings those telex 750s are required equipment. At a previous airline I destroyed a pair by running them over with the seat, and the mechanic had to track one down because it was on the equipment list. So don’t give the company too much credit for buying us cheap (community use) headsets…

The survey was mildly disappointing.

The weighting of our Contract desires? How about industry tops in all Articles?

I hope this is not a serious post. If the company paying for your medical is on your radar you are not seeing the big picture. Must be bidding top 1-2% in category.
