Well, ideally, what do you see as the connection between the PWA and the "operation". Or in other words, from the time you sign in, to the time you're done, absent a reroute and rest, what sections of the contract apply directly to operation of the aircraft?

Exactly. Either do it or don't. You are also required to stand in the door and say goodbye to the passengers. It seems that the compliance on that is far less than 50% right now. How many guys have been fired for not saying goodbye? Zero.

(For the record, I do stand and say goodbye unless we're running late and have a plane change)

To me, there is a direct connection between the operation and the PWA. If I screw up in the operation, it is the PWA that gives the union the contractual right to represent me in any disciplinary matter. Is that correct?

This horse needs some more beating.
The memo was poorly staffed and worded. It wasn't the first time and it won't be the last.
For the record, I think the word choice of line check "blitz" is a poor choice of words, but I don't think it rises to the level of "panties in a wad" bad. I thought the word choice of doing the walkaround "in the shadow of the aircraft" was a poor choice of words too. I remember when DAL memos used to be full of misspellings. Etc, etc, etc.
Hold that horses head, I'm gonna kick it in the nu...
Underboob, I'm beggin ya.

Anyone care to help me with finding chapter and verse on where alfa's claim that saying bye to the pax is in our manuals? I've searched high and low in the FOM.... no dice.

Ha, just found it and came back here and saw your post, newK.
Not anywhere near the strong wording that is in the gatehouse PA memo.
Passenger Deplaning
While passengers are deplaning, a pilot should stand at the deplaning door to thankour customers whenever possible.
• Pilots should not deplane until all passengers have departed the aircraft,
unless early deplaning is necessary for operational reasons or passenger
assistance.
• Pilots will use good judgment not to interfere with any passenger or with
the normal deplaning flow.

Okay, here's a question. I'm going to training at the end of January. On the calendar portion of the PBS website, for the 2 days just prior to going to training it says PTP. Are these days blocked off for travel to training? That's the only thing I can think of but they are not listed on the VTS page in DBMS.
Thanks for any help.

You have to double-check me on that one for sure.
