But you are fixated on the SLI. You can see nothing else. That's why we got here from discussing the C-171 Displacement Resolution. It's a bad resolution as pointed out throughout this thread. It matters not how those pilots got there. It matters not that there is no conspiracy by management and ALPA to "get" those pilots. Nothing matters other than the company is balancing flying and the UPA already handles displacements. If the company returns 737 flying to IAH in the 24 months following the displacements then yes I could see a MOU granting the displaced pilots grandfather rights.
I rarely make any statements about SLI and did not bring it into the discussion. As I have said I am not sure that I even support the resolution. I think MOU 11 and 14 both were carve outs (and mistakes) that gave the same special deal that these guys are looking for. I just find it hypocritical to give a carve out to some and not others.
