Back in 2002, NWA/PCL opened up preferential hiring for furloughed NWA pilots. They had no super seniority and started at the bottom with everybody else.
Most were FO's/FE's with little time at mainline, the furloughs didn't go terribly deep.
There has never been a flowthrough/flowback provision on paper between the PCL and NWA MEC's. Ever.
The only reason any of those guys became captains is because thier seniority held the position and they bid it. Not because of a J4J type deal.
uh yeah,, i tried to make air quotes but i couldn't find them on my key board so i made real quotes around the word "flowthrough". usually the quotes mean something sarcastic. like this.... Yeah our f.a. is "hot" !....
see how that works. and the reason they became captains is because of the hiring of street captains. it was an easy pool to get people from.
