So everybody was thrilled the next 824 guys AA hired would be from Eagle, captain jobs would turnover and life would be good. Some where BuzzKillington came out and read the fine print that they could be held which of course happened. The rest of the "flow" is on the contract but since the first round took a court order its assumed that AA will renege somehow.
A little off on the cause, but generally you've got the right conclusion: it did take a judge to force the flow and we do believe they will just renege on the rest at will.
Recently, the company and the union could not come to an agreement on reserve rules, so the company ceased "ALL" negotiations and has unilaterally installed new reserve rules in complete violation of anything our contract stands for. Do you really think they won't violate the flow language too? These are evil people and working for them SUCKS.
