“I didn’t work, but I deserve
Exit for training! “
I receive calls weekly, sometimes daily, to help pilots. But last week I received three calls in one day. Both the same airline. This is the position on one of these calls, and I curiously do not think that the argument is deeply related to.
A new rental pilot request religious accommodation for training. He cannot work on Saturday. The airline gave it. But with matters, the pilots leak, and the tables change, the training was rescued on Saturday. Call me for advice. He insists that he will never work in his religious day, regardless of what. It was not negotiable. Thus, he is a man of faith, and not only forgery to go down on Saturday.
His plan was to appear in the training, in simulating a fixed base, and telling the coach that he could not pay a button or lift the equipment, but he will get the first officer to do so for him, and ask the coach to sign him. I said: “Do not ask the coach to sign you. This is forging the records. This will put him on the rightway and can cost him his job.” Then I said, “What if I did that, and said no?”
He said he would sit there with his folded arms. “Don’t do it!” I said. “If you are finished, this goes to the court that will chase you. Then I explained the reason.
I said, “Explain the situation, ask the coach to give you incomplete, and ask if he will contact the schedule to resume.”
Then, on Mother’s Day on Sunday, the pilot called to tell me what happened.
He had asked his partner to pay the buttons and transfer the equipment. He was sitting there. She was fine with that, so he told the coach himself. He was not incomplete, and all that was said, this pilot was signed. Faki decreased when I heard this. But he then said that he was withdrawn from training the next day (this Sunday) because it was not complete. I said, “Of course I was incomplete.” Then we argued this point for more than 30 minutes.
They reschedule him. Al -Magdouk asked about the days that will not succeed. On Friday, he told her the sunset on Saturday for his faith. I asked if he had explained why he needed to reschedule. He did not. I assumed that transparency might have a long way here, because the two tables do not want this to happen again.
Now the questions
I explained that this was not legal training. He argued that he was and believed that he deserved to log in.
She explained that the training curriculum does not say, the first officer will appear “and/or driving. This is the procedure trainer. Moving the keys is the lesson, or why not only sit in a semester and talk about the plane on a wall board and save a lot of money? He said it is not different if he told the other pilot to do so, or did that.
I explained AQP means that we are training like flying. He also said, as in the plane, the captain will start a engine.
What do you think? Was this legal training?
Then I inquired that if I got to his workplace, he sat on the chair, discussed and told others how to do this work, he would be paid to be there, and I think he did the work to sign it, does he violate his faith? He said that his rabbi said it was okay to do all of this, as long as he does not touch a key.
I believe in staying for everyone. I believe in faith, condemnation, and do what you believe in. But this feels fabricated and solved. I said, “You cannot get it in both directions. He also argued.
What do you think? Is this work or not?
He said that AlPa told him that once he was signed for training, they could not take it away. Is this correct? He has no idea how to discover the company. I told him what happened more than possible.
What I think happened is that this coach was regretting the buyers, and wondered what happened. Then he asked someone who said: “There is no legal way.” This was not a legal training, and because the coach went with that, he allows him to do the entire event again.
I wondered how to manage the airline’s profession on an international plane, without working on Saturday. There are time changes, canceling and delaying weather and maintenance. Will he cancel a trip because he finds himself in Europe and cannot work on Friday at sunset? Is this sunset in the area of time or Europe?
He said it will not be a problem. After what happened here, the discussion that followed about legitimacy, I think it can appear on the plane and tell the other pilots that he could not press a button or do anything but sit there. The question is, do pilots allow this behavior if they all want to return home after delay? Perhaps, depending on the situation.
It should have been absorbed for training. There is no unjustified hardship for the company. But the canceled journey will be another story. The question is, if this might be a violation of a certified training program from FAA if the pilot sat there and the orders of the procedures instead of doing it? If not, we are required for all AQP training as we fly, so will this behavior be allowed in a plane? And if the pilot believed that he was legitimate enough to sign him and pay him in exchange for the event, does this not work?
What do you think?
Enjoy the trip
