My apologies for that whole post it was out of line and out of character for me.
The part about the staple however is 100% correct. Its a lousy rotten deal made to look like a measure of good faith.
If LCAL is hiring LUAL should be too there is NO REASON TO SHRINK one side and grow the other. This is absolutely a power play by our beloved co-worker. We could so easily be shifting flying around to spread the load evenly. Instead one side is critically short of plots and the other side is overstaffed!?!
GIVE ME A BREAK!!
JCBA/ISL is the answer. Will it ever happen?
Hoss, the growing and shrinking was happening years Before the merger and continues because CAL has orders and new routes etc.. Until we get a combined list and JCBA, the company cannot spread the flying evenly amongst the two subsidiary. Our current contract will not allow them but so much flexibility with the block hour ratios. As far as staple,UA furloughed guys with recall rights to UA coming to L-CAL, I don't understand your point? Place them ahead of CAL guys on property. If those guys go back to L-UA, assuming a recall...where will most involuntary furloughs go...bottom of your list....as it should be. Why the difference?
You are absolutely correct on JCBA and ISL...as the real fix but of course, not everybody will be happy with that either
