certainly sounds like some sort of "drug deal" going on there.....but I'm sure there is a good reason

IF/When Atl is added to our Bid pref's, I will put that as my first choice for CA, most the FL guys would love to have it over any of the others.

It's an initial 3 year seat lock for FOs, not 2.

I think that had something to do with people getting recalled after furlough and an agreement ALPA made with management for those people. For all the other FOs that switched from the saab to the crj900, they have a 2 year seat lock for both equipment and seat which does not start until 8 weeks after the class start date, so 26 months in all. I have heard many think that they will release that lock but I highly doubt that as there is not a shortage of people to upgrade. Unless they were 2 years away from being able to upgrade, I just cannot justify that move. But I guess whatever floats your boat.

The LOA as quoted in the award was settled and basically released those FO's from there seat locks because someone was released improperly and these guys where released to settle this grievance or that was the jist of it. To qualify this is hearsay read the LOA to get the facts when available.
