re: memo on pilot flight bags of CP
First, it cannot be mandatory. Otherwise, what is the legal basis? What if I have my own? Pilots should be allowed to use their own provided it conforms to standards.
Second, if pilots are compelled to avail of the flight bags, the pilots should have the option of surrendering or returning the bag instead of paying. The bag should likewise not be more expensive compared to its commercial price.
Third, CP cannot simply deduct the amount from the pilot's salary. There should be a written authorization from the pilot expressly allowing the specific amount to be deducted.
