Wow Alfa, you’re very touchy about this. So I assume you don’t want a limit to how long any pilot can be off line before they lose their seniority number but I am curious as to why?
And accusing me of deflection? I'd accuse you of not reading well, you got the part I do want MEC members to rotate back to the line but you forgot the part I highlighted in
red:
So, again, why do you Alfa not think there should be a limit for any pilot to be away from the line before they are no longer pilots? Or I guess for you, why this limit shouldn't apply to union folks?
I mean do you like the notion someone could camp out off line and wait until their seniority is much better before they return or have no intention of returning but have a direct effect on the lives of those out there flying whether it be in management, the union or training?
I mean turnover rates can be whatever they are in all three of those areas, doesn't matter to me, I just want it in writing in case someone is contemplating a life outside the line but wants to retain the seniority number "just in case" or for some other bogus reason.
So stop deflecting
and answer, why are you against a simple limit?
And btw if flying the line is so much greater than union work, where is Lee Moak right now? He's not flying jets for DAL anymore is he? I mean pardon the masses for wondering
sometimes if the goal of going to DALPA is to get a job in Herndon. But no worries, I think I made it clear from my post I want this uniformly applied to all pilots not just the union.
