I was told (right here) last month there is nothing to worry about as long as you don't cheat on your expense report.

But be carefull your APC post could be added to your report card.

We all have a file on us. We are allowed to see it. BUT if you call in fatigued it goes on some thing called a pilot report card. Bet you didnt know this existed? This report card has your picture and ANY derogatory comment that ANYone (mgmt/ DO) wishes to put on it. Call in fatigued its a BLACK MARK on you report card. For their future disciplinary or what ever actions.

Next contract we need access to our report card as we do now to our file.
Having an accident or incident with a jet, because you're fatigued, will leave a very big BLACK (or perhaps BROWN) MARK on your skivvies. Now I ask you, which would you rather have?

Part of their sleight of hand. They want you to believe it is no big deal and that you don't have any impact on it. They do not not want to see PORs addressing this fatigue issue.

Classic management technique. Throw too many issues at you so you think you have to drop some in the hope of gaining ground on the "most important." Or you get "fatigued" working on them all. I try to address each and every issue because I believe that reaction is never rewarded. I want them to address all misdeeds.

The fact is we don't know what will happen if a bunch of PORs get written.

This report card sounds a lot like a "shop file", which was grieved by ALPA at another carrier and won. Everything relevant to your position with the company must be accessable by the union/employee.

Sorry you guys are facing all these issues concerning fatigue and safety at a time when the Company is making profits. Makes it clear where their priorities are.

"and you know about this how?"

its not about me or how i know

Argumentum ad hominum take the argument off the subject and on to the man. Name calling not a debate winner.

If you doubt its existence its to your possible peril. Call visit your ACPO

My simple point for SIMPLETONS like you (ad hom) Is that there should be no double secret probation aka Dean Wormer of Animal House

Ok, wow. I simply wanted to know how you knew about this "Report Card". I guess I should take every anonymous post at face value.

Also, you seemed to imply that I had resorted to name calling. If you are implying such, could you show me where that occurred in my post? If you aren't implying such, then you have my apology.

Additionally, if I took every anonymous post without asking for further source information then I think I would indeed be a SIMPLETON.

Sorry if my asking a question offended you, I just wanted to know how you knew about this report card since no one else seems to know.

Skeeb"o" could be "O" and you just may have gotten your name on a report card.

Jetjok,

I'm not opposed to the union at least finding out why the company is doing the standby assignments the way they are. There might be a good, legitimate reason for it that hasn't been made public. However, if there is, are we as a group willing to accept that? Based on what I read on here, I get the impression that everyone is convinced that everything the company does is evil, and if it's inconvenient for us, (which is all this is for the reserve guys is an inconvenience,) then we should start a fight with the company over it. There's plenty of other stuff to fight the company on, and I'm a firm believer in choosing your battles whenever possible. If you're on A reserve, then plan on getting called. Go ahead and take a 4 or 5 hour nap, and time it so that if scheduling calls you right at midnight, you'll have had some sleep. If you're not a night person, don't even set the alarm. That way, if you're not called, you sleep peacefully through the night, although you might wind up waking up at 4 or 5am. Too early in the morning for my taste, but if you like being up during daylight, that might be the way to go.
