Honest question.....What happens to any future hiring ('recall', or whatever the MEC's what to spin the title as) when/if the "Sunset Date" comes about on the TA that is currently in place??

Hoping that I am wrong.....but I'm a firm believer that a JCBA will not see the day of light during 2011. Assuming this is the case, what will happen to the TA section 7 "Job Op" section/provisions IF the JNC's negotiations continue well into 2012? My only concern is the company will "TRY" and use that section's rights (Future Job Ops) 'against' the Pilot Group(s) in future dealings after any "Sunset Date" on the TA comes about. Can anyone clarify/shed light on how this may work? IE-UAL or CAL going outside the Furloughed Pilots in offering 'off the street' pilots jobs for future staffing while JNC negotiations continue.

One thing I am confident, both Pilot Groups as they stand have been slapped/beat/punched for quite sometime. I would hope that the company's smoke-mirrors game of dangling the above mentioned threat over future proceedings/negotiations would be whole-heartedly snubbed knowing that we all have a MUCH bigger reward which we ALL need, and that's the industry leading JCBA.

To those Furloughs that want to come back to flying at CAL, I am glad to see they are afforded the opportunity if you so choose......but to those who find constraints of being on the bottom of the CAL SL - "Reserve" with the current CBA rules, I don't blame you one bit. It does present it's "challenges" (IE-$h1t-sandwich) living under the reserve rules, especially those who are commuting coast to coast.

Best to all, especially to those Furloughed Pilots making decisions in being 'offered' CAL Pilot Positions.
