Wow lucky you....and I dont mean because of the loss of your grandfather.....

Can the Teamsters help out?

I'd talk to the POI. With the death of a Grandfather, you obviously are not in a mental/emotional state to fly safely. That is a perfectly good reason to call in sick and one that the FAA should support.

Sorry to hear that. Netjets is hiring. May turn out to be better for you in the long-term.

I am sorry for your loss, but I have a hard time buying this one. I have never had any trouble getting time off when needed. I may have to make it back up if not excused, but I got it. Who are the initals of your ACP? Need more background before I jump on this one.

How many times have you called in sick this year?

I'm just a line pilot, no union position or anything. I didn't think that Citation Shares pilots were represented by the Teamsters, or any Union, but maybe I am wrong. If you worked there you would know better than me.

I would think that if you guys are represented by the teamsters, or any union, they will get very involved. I would call your steward ASAP.

Also, if you are not represented, but have been let go due to union organizing or other union activities (even if they did not give you that reason, but it is your belief) I would get ahold of the union ASAP also, as I believe that is illegal.

If your group is nonunion, and not involved in organizing, i am not really sure what steps you can take. Perhaps FLMA (Family Medical Leave Act) applies? Any state laws mandating time off due to a death in the family? I would consult a labor law attorney on those issues, as I really don't know.
