CBA bargaining is dragging on at PHI in the GOM. (surprise, surprise!)
The Pilot's Union has filed a couple of grievances about manning issues.
Shell Oil has let a contract to PHI with a clause restricting pilots to max age of 60 and PHI has refused all pilots over that age who bid for those seats. Those bids by Union/PHI contract policy are supposed to go to the senior most qualifed pilot.
The Union has also filed a grievance on the EMS side of the PHI stating some EMS operations have been undermanned for over a year.
The current contract requires "forced" workover but pilots are beginning to refuse to workover despite PHI paying Double Pay for workover days in the GOM. Simultaneously, PHI EMS only pays Time and One Half for the same workover days.
Perhaps the Management at PHI still does not understand the old days of snapping fingers at pilots are over and they now have to do business in a more reasonable and businesslike manner.
The old days of Suggsy scouring the gutters of New Orleans for pilots passed a long time ago.
