Crew Resources update looks like more of the same. Contract 2012: if you let us have more big RJs, we'll buy some small planes, park some bigger ones, and displace a bunch of you to fly them. Please sign here...

Yes I saw that also, more displacements off of the 75/76 in August. That is literally crushing the JR FO's

This is the only level of info that I intend to give the company. Under the Federal law known as HIPAA, we are entitled to privacy regarding release of medical records. This law is enforced by the Office of Civil Rights and cannot be coercively taken away from you because of an employment contract.
If they want more than the most general description of the illness from my doctor, I will press to test this issue through a grievance, and through the Office of Civil Rights. My opinion is that they (management/DALPA) simply hope pilots voluntarily give up their rights to privacy under HIPAA. If a denial of sick pay happens to me, we'll see if my opinion is right.

The summer of 2014 will see 10 less 757 aircraft in service, compared to summer 2013. As a result, we may surplus 7ER pilots on the next bid, particularly on the First Officer side.
If the next Displacement is anything like the June AE, over 40% of the FO's on the SLC737 will be displaced in two bids. That is truly amazing considering all the positive hype that people seem to be talking about.
Sorry, just venting, but you will have guys that were #60 of 100 in May getting displaced.

I don't understand. I thought we could call in sick 100 hours per year unverified with no questions asked? Pilots are being harassed before using 100 hours? Oh that's right. We put a clause in our contract letting the company call pilots whenever they feel like it.
