It isn't fair to leaprfrog in schedules/upgrade ahead of current other airline pilots because yours took a turn for the worst and you decided to stay on the sinking ship. I will give you longevity transfer, but management could hire a newbie instead of paying you 5 years worth. Nothing stops that.
Depends. Are you losing 140 airplanes in the next few years. Or, as the latest rumor has it, will these stick around even longer, negating all the job threats given to pass the concessionary contract.
Seemed to work well for Colgan pilots.
