As for this...
It is your problem as pilots, ultimately... If the allow unlimited movement, instead of displacing within the 76T fleet, the run the risk of massive training backlogs a la this past winter/spring. I continue to hear how badly UAL needs pilots, and filling via vacancy would slow hiring again... Or at least that's how I see it -- Class in 2 weeks for me... Displace me all you want. Just give me my seniority number first
Welcome! (In 2 weeks!)
I was referring to the cost required with displacing and re-training so many pilots. As pilots, it's not our job to manage the company and how they spend their money. It's our job to report to a flight, as required/assigned, and fly it safely from point A to point B per the FOM/FM.
If they can't figure it out... unfortunately, we can't do it for them.
Also, we don't have unlimited movement, we have training freezes for 1 or 2 years (depending on the vacancy bid/awarded).
