I have to question your reading skills. You posted an exact wording of section 29.
It says "Such letter shall also notify the Pilot that the required payment must be remitted within a period of fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the letter or the Pilot will be discharged."
No mention if said "date of the letter" means, arbitrary date typed in upper right hand corner, date it was written, date it was sent or date it was recieved. As the intent is to give the delinquent Pilot a 15 day grace period in which to reconcile their account, the only logical interpretation by those outside of a criminal organization (pending appeal) would be date of receipt. Moreover, as it is required to be certified mail, return receipt requested, the only logical conclusion of anyone not involved in an attempted theft (pending appeal) would be "date of letter" means date of receipt as mandated by the return receipt requirement verifying the day the pilot is made aware of said alleged delinquency. But logic is lost on the USAPA crowd, lucky for the West it is usually present in a jury.
Bottom line on this whole thing is USAPA better have a signed return receipt from any pilot they attempt to get fired. My assumption is they do not. If they do, and the whole arguement is the effected pilots payed 13 days after receipt but 19 days after USAPA delivery, I doubt the company will fire said pilot because USAPA does not have enough money to indemnify the company, (nor would section 29 A. 8 for an intentional breach) from the litigation that would arise to determine what "date of letter" actually means.
