It’s been 6 weeks since the last update. The area has been relatively quiet. We completed the waterfall of CV’s line and everybody who bid a new line will be moved to it in Pay Period 13.
Other areas have recently had issues with CIC’s approving Blood Leave. Don Hill agreed to CIC’s approving Blood Leave as long as the OM is consulted first. Blood Leave falls under the category of Excused Absence which can only be approved by management.
SeaTac is once again under construction. Work has already started on the taxiways surrounding the inboard runway and will conclude with the inboard runway, once again, being closed at the end of the summer. This will impact the arrival rate and we will see lengthy delays through the summer.
Lastly, I’m looking for 1 more volunteer for area refresher training taking place in the fall. Scheduled meetings will begin in late August to allow adequate time to prepare the material. The class dates are November 5-9. There will also be a last minute solicitation for an article 5 to the training department for stage 4 class this summer. Dates have not been set (the reason I anticipate the last minute solicitation). The class is tentatively scheduled to begin in July and run through August. Please let me know if you are interested and if you have any schedule requests if selected (e.i. 4 10-hour days M-Th).
