No no no...band the 330 and 767-400 with our 777/A350 rate..

If, heaven forbid, this TA ever sees the light of day and is passed I would gladly join a class action lawsuit. Every American has a right to have their medical records remain private.

If this TA passes, standbye. A electronic signup sheet to join the suit could be circulated in every flight deck, layover, message board, etc in short order. I'm sure the publicity of a multi-year lawsuit between Delta and it's pilots will help the stock out.

Much more to it than this but here are a few words from our sponsor...

"The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information, and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The Rule also gives patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, and to request corrections."

Don't surrender your rights. Especially as an airline pilot who deserves to have information, sensitive in nature, secure at all times.

I don't plan on surrendering mine, not without a fight.

Again, this isn't about 15% of pilots abusing sick leave. That never made any sense.

It's about gaining the sort of power over every pilot that they could never have dreamed of having. If this becomes our contract, DL will have you by the short and curlies whenever they please, for ANY reason.

Guys, the law allows for this if the request is for paying you sick leave benefits. You don't have to agree to release anything, then the company is perfectly within its rights to not pay you for your sickness. Want to sue or grieve it? Your own "union" agrees with management. Case dismissed.

You guys need to start a CLOSED Delta TA Facebook page. Don't let MEC/CNC or management in it and invite all your Facebook and other Delta friends to join. Then post all of the details and gotchas. That is what turned the XJT TA around. I'm convinced it would've passed otherwise, but likely became the first alpa vote completely turned around by social media, because the union conspired with the company to only disclose the bits and pieces that really only amounted to a few carrots.

Also, you must ban those that join just to make waves or divert the topic, or are caught inviting mgmt and/or union personnel. They don't help the cause and do tremendous damage to the intentions of the page. They'll claim their free speech is being quenched, but they really don't have anything productive to contribute.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This stuff is not difficult. Why would any FO in any category vote yes for this provision??? It is not like the rest of the TA makes up for it in any way, shape, or form.

This is about more than sick leave. The company doc can now freely control your FAA medical. Do you see a conflict of interest??

Lots of good info in it. If there are questions please post them here, call your reps or email/call a P2P rep.

Thanks.
I saw several slides on the RJ scope, but nothing addressing the widebody concessions. This oversight by our "Strategic Planning" committee is significant cause for concern. How could a "Strategic Planning" committee overlook a reduction in top end scope? Why was there no mention of years of willful violation of the JV contract by the company? Shouldn't this enter the perspective of the NMB? Was this a really a scare tactic in disguise? (TIC)
