True or false:
The company can, in some situations, compel you to provide a doctor's note, and not reimburse you.

The blast says:

There are three instances in which the PWA requires a pilot to verify a sickness. Under the provisions of Section 14 F. 3., a pilot is contractually required to verify sickness if:
1. The pilot uses more than 100 hours of Sick Leave that is unverified.
2. The sickness extends to 15 or more consecutive calendar days.
3. Under the provisions of Section 14. F. 4., if the Company has a “good faith basis” reason to question a pilot’s sickness. In this situation, the company must first request the verification; then the pilot is required to submit a verification of a sickness.

If one of the above instances applies to a pilot’s sick leave usage, the pilot does not have the option to not verify. There have been several instances in which a pilot did not call in well after becoming well and has been required to verify because they reached 15 or more consecutive calendar days of sick leave.
....
These three instances of required sick event verification are not automatically subject to reimbursement by the Company for the cost of obtaining a doctor’s certificate.

Me = dog, contract = door.

I'll go stand in the corner. Pick my nose. Wait for a better response.

And it'll probably be April 2016 before we get to go, but we'll go.
BRU-Paris on the train is great. Did it with my family.

Drop them off at my house, I'll take them sailing, around the World!

You can see Scambo in the gray sweats and shirt.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Delta Air Lines said Tuesday that its Trainer oil refinery in Delaware County would have a "small loss" in the current first quarter, after posting a loss of $46 million in the three months ended Dec. 31 and a $116 million loss for 2013.

Delta executives said on a conference call that the 180,000-barrel-a-day refinery, operated by subsidiary Monroe Energy L.L.C., would "see a modest profit" for 2014, said chief financial officer Paul Jacobson.

"We expect to see only a modest loss for the Trainer refinery in the March quarter, despite the pull-down of one of the main units for modifications," Jacobson told investors.

Delta management has been predicting a profit for trainer virtually every quarter since it's purchase. That has not been accurate so far. Let's hope it's better this year.

False. If the Company requires a doctor's certificate for verification, regardless of whether the verification itself is required, you will be reimbursed your expenses in obtaining that certificate. (14 F. 5.)

If 88/90 pay isn't brought up a couple of dollars to match A319/320 pay hopefully HK will have a better excuse than he did last time, which was, "It wasn't asked for in the survey."

Sometimes I think I got on the wrong boat.

SO what? It's not, nor was it ever intended to be a profit center. If it DOES produce a profit it would be nice, but it is not necessarily to be a stand alone profit machine... I will take a $100 million loss on Trainer versus a $.07/gallon fuel advantage over the competition all day long and twice on Sunday. YMMV
