As has already been said, no fences; they would have been in the CBA. The rumor that I heard was the U-ALPA wanted to fence the 400 (747), and C-ALPA said OK so long as we also fence the 787. The decision was no fences.

Also, no flush bid. With 50 new hires and 30 retirements each month we will have many opportunities to bid around. A flush bid would be extremely expensive for the company and very bad for the pilots as well. OK, maybe not bad for all pilots, but for the displaced few/many it could be devastating in terms of QOL.
