Additional CA-1 Guidance
There have been reports of some people that filed a CA-1 getting a call from an “FAA Liaison.” We do not recommend you talk to this person at all. You are not obligated to answer this call at all or give them any information. Everything you do should be through the official CA-1 process and in writing. The FAA Liaison is not there to help you, they are trying to help the FAA deny claims. Please let us know if you are getting these phone calls.
New ZSE T-Shirt and Logo
ZSE has a new logo! We’ve been so excited to share this with everybody but have had to wait to iron out all the details. The e-board voted to purchase a t-shirt for every member at ZSE. All we need from you is for you to decide whether you’d like a women’s or men’s cut shirt and then fill out the corresponding form. We’ll get the order out as soon as all the forms are filled so the sooner they’re finished, the better.
If you would like more info on sizing, design, etc. of each shirt, here are the links:
If you are wondering about the sizing, the shirts seem to run about a half a size small.
LR Update:
We received a “sustained” response to the COP grievance we mentioned in the previous LR update. This is a big deal because the agency has taken a stance on our last few grievances of admitting no fault and accepting no responsibility but this time they actually did. They sustained our grievance which means they also agreed that they were not following the law and they agreed to follow the law in the future. Novel idea, eh? The result of this for you is that if you call and inform them you filed a CA-1 and are requesting to be placed on COP, they SHALL do it. This is handy because that way you don’t have to burn annual or sick and wait until they get it back to you after the CA-1 is complete.
We also received and accepted a settlement offer for the OT skip grievance. This was a favorable offer so we took it. An important note regarding “settling” is that the agency makes all of their offers contingent on it not being an admission to violating any rule or law. This is, however, tantamount to a “win” for us.
Have a wonderful warm and sunny week!
