How did you come up with that spin? Verification does not equal doctor's certificate. Verification could be telling the CPO the general nature of your illness, if that's not good enough and they require a doctor's certificate it clearly states that if the company requires a doctors certificate the company pays.

2. A pilot may verify any sickness by providing to his Chief Pilot or the Chief Pilot Support Center either a doctor’s certificate or other proof of illness. At its option, the Company may require a doctor’s certificate to satisfy verification under Section 14 F. 2., 3., or 4.

5. In the event the Company requires a doctor’s certificate for verification, a pilot may submit a reimbursement claim through DBMS for any reasonable expense incurred in obtaining such verification.

Per PWA Section 14 F. 5., a pilot will be reimbursed reasonable expenses incurred when obtaining a doctor’s certificate that has been requested by his Chief Pilot. If a pilot attempts to provide adequate verification of a sick event through “other proof of illness”, and subsequently the Company requires a doctor’s certificate to verify that sick event, the Company will reimburse the pilot’s expenses incurred in obtaining the doctor’s certificate.

Expenses associated with sick leave verification may be submitted via iCrew.

I enjoyed Paris when I was on the ER, my wife has never been, I think that is where we want to go via BRU and a train.

And it'll probably be April 2016 before we get to go, but we'll go.

No kidding.

From what I heard they refused to hire into IT, is that true? They need to hire into it. It's the most important marketing tool we got, dump marketing, go all IT.

I mean I don't notice commercials, I don't watch tv. I don't notice billboards, I'm texting. I don't notice any advertising, except what gets in the way of me trying to watch a youtube video.

BTW, are they extending the PBS deadline past the 11th?

Many reps like HK and wanted him as Chairman. According to the C108 update Council 1, 20, 48 and the 108 (FO) voted for HK as chairman.

PWA 14.F.5

In the event the Company requires a doctor’s certificate for verification, a pilot may submit a reimbursement claim through DBMS for any reasonable expense incurred in obtaining such verification.


What are they saying?

I'm glad they extended the travel deadline on this pass-- I didn't even know we had it for some years! I was on mil leave when they awarded it, and never got notified, and upon my return no one ever told me I had it or briefed me on it. I only found out about it this year when a Capt I was flying with mentioned it!

And scheduling first a vacation to use the pass, and THEN figuring out what to do with your kids while you're gone, and THEN talking your baby-sitting relative to come out and watch your kids so you can go party, and THEN having to buy their tickets, and THEN figuring out that the babysitter tickets and associated expenses are more expensive than your planned vacation with the wife, and THEN trying to reflow the whole thing so it is somehow a net positive....Only to find your parents/sister/brother/aunt etc. will be unavailable as they're on a trip already to where YOU WERE PLANNING to go!...

Well, it's Hard Work! At this point, I'm asking folks I meet who come up to the car trying to wash my windshield if they do babysitting...

I thought someone said the other day that you can now put your trips in order now.

Such that if you had rotations "21. 1234 1235 1236 1237" on one line that you could put them in the order you prefer "21. 1236 1235 1237 1234" for instance instead of what the computer does and puts them in numerical order.

I hit the 200 line limit I guess bidding because I break up preferred rotations for the same day into multiple lines. I've been looking for a way to order them but haven't found it on the Navtech PBS app.

Anyone know if its possible to reorder the rotations in a given line? It'd really help cut down on how long my bid is.

I think we were going to pay someone $100 or more a day to watch the kids because we couldn't get family to do it. And honestly, don't know if they can keep up. Maybe in 2 years as the kids get older they'll be able to do it but not at this age they can't.
