Try again.
Thats what is bull. They took the snapshot on July 1. Our incompitent committee even argued in the arbitration that this is when the snapshot should take place.
Why would you argue to use numbers from when you are seriously understaffed and the other two airlines are overstaffed? Makes no sense and the other committees took advantage of the 9E Merger Committees ignorance.
The real sad part is that now when our own captains quit, XJ and 9L fos can take their place until we loose more than
50 more captains.
However, the XJ 900 captain who quit will be backfilled by XJ pilots and 9L Q and Saab captains who quit will be backfilled by 9L pilots.
If our committee was smart, they would have asked for a fence that awards the positions based on a ratio. We would have got 5 out of every 6 CRJ 200 upgrades. Instead our guys will remain FOs for the forseeable future.
