1. On all the local TV stations they repeated many times that the governor declared a state of emergency. They kept saying a reasonable employer (yeah I know....) would not hold it against its employees if they stayed home today. Most businesses did not open at all today. On top of that all the authorities requested every one to stay home and out of the roads.

2. The training department sent out a memo today saying that if you thought it would not be safe to get to RGT today, to please stay home and your RGT would get re scheduled. Print that memo. If it is not safe for someone to go to RGT, it's not safe for you to go to the airport. As simple as that.

3. Learn to play the game. Last resort, if you want to make absolutely sure you get paid, call in sick. Unfortunately in this industry, you have to learn how to play the game. I used to have all kind of moral conflicts about calling in sick if I was not sick. I got over it.
 
I think you have a good case. Again, print the memo about RGT. If the company is telling pilots not to worry about getting to RGT, they can't give everyone else no shows for not being able to get to the airport.
Even if they give you one, I am sure you'll be able to fight it. And even if our stellar chiefs refuse to help you out with that I am sure BH will take care of it if you email him with your case and a copy of that memo.
 
Thanks, Squanto. You're right. Why CPU it with a phone call when you can enjoy a day off filling out paper work.

Cause it is nice to get paid, and you won't have the moral weight of an "occurance" on your shoulders. The whole combo, (for those who care about those things.)

As of 10:00 am there was not a CP in the office. I wonder if they got paid.
 
Ah. Our sick policy. Get sick a few times a year from the nature of the job or moldy packs, call in sick, get harassed with threatening letters unless you act like you have a "serious medical condition" (FMLA wasn't meant for colds) and pay to get a doc to fill out BS legal paperwork....otherwise, get letters in your file/record.

Great bargaining, ASA MEC. We can't even be sick without getting harassed. But at least you do all that other important stuff, like the impeccable service from your scheduling hotline...or as I call it, the "no friggen way" hotline...as in, "no friggen way i can't believe you morons agreed to that in the contract."
