From the latest Union Update:
POSITION NOTICE 13-01
The Company has approached the ASA MEC and requested a waiver from Section 24.F.4.d. of our Contract. Specifically, the company is asking to post a position notice with a 5-day bidding window instead of the normal 10 day window, due to unforeseen circumstances. In this case, the MEC agrees that the pilot group and the Company would benefit from a reduced window. Therefore, the MEC has granted the waiver.
Position notice 13-01 is posted today, Thursday, February 28, and will close Tuesday, March 5, at 2359 EST. The Company has indicated that aircraft position freezes will not be waived. Please bid accordingly.
Losing 10 Captains was an unforeseen circumstance? Something is up...
