Baseball's collective bargaining agreement not only mandates first class jet and travel accommodations for road trips "if practicable"--any exception that has players flying coach must include a minimum of three seats per two players--but also to spring training in February and back to their off-season homes in October.
In 2007, former Army captain Mr King recorded that his pupil had completed 51 training flying hours against the Civil Aviation Authority's demanded minimum of 45 hours.
The trial heard that the former Army captain had recorded that Mr Spencer had completed 51 training flying hours against the Civil Aviation Authority's demanded minimum of 45 hours.
The logbook showed Mr Spencer had done 51.3 hours of training, the minimum being 45 hours, and that it had included the mandatory ten hours of solo flying, which the prosecution says was a "lie".
He said he drafted a policy document in 2004 on part-time working setting out minimum hours that entry pilots, like Ms Starmer, must complete before they could reduce their flying times to less than 75% of full-time hours.
