When the Route Takes Longer Than Eight Feedback and Revisions
I’ve been working on consolidating as much information as I can find about the PS Form 3996 and requesting and dealing with the overtime process into one document that can hopefully serve as a useful resource for both carriers and stewards.
I’ve tried to bring together the relevant handbook and manual language, M-documents, arbitration decisions, guidance, podcasts, and other resources in one place instead of having people hunt through a dozen different sources when a 3996 issue comes up.
I’d really appreciate some extra eyes on it. If you see anything that needs to be corrected, clarified, or expanded, or if you know of a good source, grievance decision, arbitration award, or argument that I’ve missed, please send it my way.
The goal is to keep improving this until it can serve as a pretty solid “one-stop shop” for understanding the 3996 process from both the carrier and steward side.
