RAH pilots so far are not being allowed to bid these positions, violating the Eischen award. Consider that when you apply. We're all professionals, and integrity counts in this industry.
I have been waiting for this to be brought up. I think Oskee is correct and F9 is legally required to fill such positions in accordance with this ruling at this time. The last time F9 filled open positions they did so in accordance with this ruling. As much as I want the seperation to be complete asap, the fact is as of today it is not. I can see the possibility of a huge lawsuit looming on the horizon from this disregard of the ruling. All of us at F9 want the list seperated as soon as possible, no one more than me. As long as F9 is part of the RAH nightmare I believe we have to live by the ruling. I don't know why RAH decided not to abide by the ruling and hire from the outside.
