For us narrowbody guys....say hello to more stagnation. Same strategy as with NWA....merge lists/airplanes....reduce total fleet size......don't hire as pilots retire.
This "model" has been very good to RA.
I have a feeling our new "workrules" under this TA is very similar to Hawaiian's
With this TA our list is already being shrunk by 300 (Workrules) and maybe 250 (Retirements) in preparation for the merger.
In addition, because of the Hawaiian fleet makeup (except the 717 pilots)....I expect them to benefit greatly on the SLI at our expense.
I agree, I think that is where we're headed too. Plus maybe some chunks of AA, but what do I know. Remember we play checkers, RA and the boys play chess and it could be something that none of us thought of
As far as a Hawaiian SLI, YOU GUYS set that merger president. Guys hired after you, younger than you senior to you.......nawwww never happen
. I kid I kid.....the only good news is they are a small group. But, as a SEA guy I agree that it won't help.....especially on the west coast!
