    Recurrent training will be conducted in accordance with the Employers
FAA approved training program. Pay for recurrent training will be in accordance
with Article 21, Section 9.B.
    
    Each month the Employer will publish a list of those who are scheduled
for recurrent training; however, it is the pilots responsibility to know when his
recurrent training and/or checkrides are due, and to notify the director of
training if he has not been scheduled at the appropriate time. In the event a
pilot is unable to attend training on the day(s) scheduled, he will notify the
director of training or his representatives as far in advance as possible. If a
mutually acceptable date cannot be agreed upon by the pilot and the Director of
Training, the pilot shall be obligated to attend on the originally scheduled
date(s).
  A.
    
    Transition, Upgrade, and Initial Equipment training will be conducted in
accordance with PHIs FAA approved training program. Pay for Transition, Upgrade,
and Initial Equipment training will be in accordance with Article 21, Section 9.B.
    
    A pilot who fails training during an upgrade, transition, initial
equipment or specialized course will not be eligible to reapply (in writing) for
that training for six (6) months unless approved by the Chief Pilot, the Director of
Operations or their representative. A second failure of an upgrade, transition,
initial equipment training or specialized course will make the pilot ineligible for
that course for at least twelve (12) months, and only then with the approval of the
Chief Pilot, the Director of Operations or their representative.
  A.
    
    Initial New Hire training will be conducted in accordance with PHIs FAA
approved training program. Pay for Initial New Hire will be in accordance with
Article 21, Section 9.

    Training (Initial New Hire, Recurrent, Initial Equipment, Transition,

inability to complete the training. The pilot may request a change of instructor,
 28




---



##### 



and the Employer will grant this request if another instructor is available. If the
pilot is still unable to successfully complete the training, the Director of Training
will determine if training is to be continued or stopped. If the Director of
Training stops the training, the pilot will be returned to his previous job. If that
job no longer exists, the pilot will be assigned to the pilot pool. In the case of
Initial New Hire training, the Chief Pilot or the Director of Operations will review
the pilots training records and make a determination as to the appropriate course of
action.B.
    
    Checking or Testing Failures. A pilot who fails a required test or check
will immediately be removed from flight duty. The pilot will be offered additional
training if necessary, and a recheck, if he successfully completes the additional
training,providing that the pilot has had no previous failures within the past
three (3) years. The pilot may request a change of instructor or check airman, and
the Employer will grant this request if another check airman is available. If the
pilot has had a previous failure within the past three (3) years, the Chief Pilot or
the Director of Operations, will consult with the pilot and determine an appropriate
course of action. If further training, testing or checking is approved by the Chief
Pilot or the Director of Operations, the pilot may request a check airman change.
The Employer will grant this request if another check airman is available. The
pilot may request a recheck by an FAA inspector, and the Employer will make an
effort to accommodate this recheck request, but does not control the availability of
an FAA inspector. If the pilot fails the recheck, the Chief Pilot or Director of
Operations will determine an appropriate course of action.C.
    
    Pay Procedures for Checking or Testing Failures. The Employer will make
a reasonable effort to retest or recheck within seven (7) days of the date of the
initial test or check failure. If the pilot fails a retest or recheck, he will be
returned to his previous job, if qualified. If that job is not available, the pilot
will be reassigned to the pilot pool, if qualified. The Employer will provide
housing and per diem for time spent in training, testing or retesting, and;
 (1)
    
    A pilot who fails any required test or check and has not failed
a test or check within the past thirty-six (36) months will be ineligible for
any additional pay during his earned time off and will be removed from flight
duty. The pilot will be eligible for up to seven (7) scheduled workdays pay
following the failure provided he has not declined to retest or recheck during
his earned time off. If the additional time beyond the seven (7) scheduled
missed workdays is due to the pilots unavailability or the pilot declines the
opportunity to retest or recheck during his earned time off, then all time for
missed scheduled workdays will be either leave without pay or VSTO, until the
pilot completes the retest or recheck.(2)
    
    A pilot who fails any required test or check and has failed a
test or check within the preceeding thirty-six (36) months will be ineligible
for any additional pay during his earned time off and will be removed from

the retest or recheck.
