Colgan Commuter Policy

[playinskys]

Just read the memo on crew website. Too darn general, the memo is written in shades of grey. I don't commute, so what do those who commute think. Also, paid parking at an alt airport, other then your base. And a Uniform allowance.

How about an updated pay policy, or employee handbook. What a joke.

I believe these are good starts. 2 comments of mine would be

1. who did we elect to negotiate with mgmt?

2. Aren't the pilots supposed to vote proposed policy changes?

i think the changes are positive.

2. Aren't the pilots supposed to vote proposed policy changes?

only if you are represented.

i'm still voting yes, again...

I'm still worried about the last memo...he said that effective immediately all mntc. cancellations will be paid or whatever, but then there was a line in there that said this will continue to be the policy until April 15, 2008. What happens after that? No pay for mntc. cancellations?

Do you think you would have had these changes if you wouldn't have just had a union vote and the possibility of another one in the not-to-distant future? Congratulations you now have what nearly every other pilot group negotiated long ago. These changes are a good thing, but give credit where credit is due.

prolly has as much to do with what the FA's are negotiating. doesn't do squat for ticket protection

Here are my issues.

What are "Adequate Seats" and how do we prove it? What about when we are jumpseating on another carrier? There are many times when you cannot tell how many seats there are. How many times have you gotten to work on an airplane that was oversold by 10 - via jumpseat / no shows? In those cases negative 10 seats was "Adequate".

What about 2+ leg commutes? Many of us with outstation bases have those. How do you apply the rules?

Again, this policy is enforced at the whim of screw scheduling as though they are my boss. It is not in any way binding and I would be nervous about using it. A step in the right direction? Sure. I think the parking thing is the best thing on there.

As was said before, thanks to the Unions out there who fought to make these kinds of things "industry standard". Maybe one of these days we'll figure out what value that is.

Is 4/15 when we get merged with PCL???? YAY!

 

[Snaab]

I hear ya, Fred! A lot of vague language overall, I thought. Guess it's a start though.

Yeah, what happens on 04/15??

 

[Striptyler]

New Pay policy and Crewmember Standards replaces the "Pay Memo" that has been a colgan staple for so many years.

Should clear up the Benefits, HR, payroll, Vacation, sick time and EAP stuff, so it's not just the pile of paper you recieved in ground school

4/15 is when the Captain from Ithica gets his day off flying sorted out. Why did Dot forward a confidential email that could result in certificate action to the personal email address of everyone that ever worked at Colgan?

I was wondering the same thing

 

[OnTheRocks]

Somebody pass on that email, would probably raise some eyebrows

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

What about us who don't commute? What do we get? NOTHING! No policy no special memo this is not right! I am outraged! I called the Teamsters up forget ALPA I am starting my own Teamsters drive. I want a policy for non commuters I also want Starbucks coffee served on all flights.

Heard he was doing training stuff which did not involve anything illegal.

VERY unprofessional in my opinon.

Now all we need is for a flight attendant to do the same thing with some dirty home movie clips.

American Pie anyone?

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Check out myspace they are all on that.

And what about weather cancellations?

Someone in Memphis probably read the work suggestions and saw the part about MTC CX being paid 2 hours if the whole day cancels and decided that meant no pay unless the whole day cancels.
