Pay attention to the SHALL's in the contract. And consider it against the "is" in the second section. Company "is" responsible for scheduling and Pilot "shall" be removed if he doesn't have a legitimate reason! Quote: (15.1.B) It is incumbent upon the Pilot to ensure that he maintains his qualifications. If the Company determines that the Pilot does not possess the necessary qualifications or certifications to operate the aircraft he shall be removed from flight status without pay snd shall remain off flight status until the necessary qualifications or certifications have been obtained, however such removal shall be with pay if the lapse of qualifications or certifications was due to circumstances beyond the Pilot’s control. (15.1.C) The Training Department is responsible for scheduling training dates and locations. If a Pilot is unable to attend training during the scheduled training dates due to illness, injury, a reasonable unforeseen absence, or previously approved excused absence, the Pilot and the Training Department will agree to alternative dates to complete the training.
