Are you 100% sure, because if you don't, it will go to the next junior pilot on the list and then you all'll start b!tc4ing again in 6 months, just giving you a heads up.
No this is not true. NONE of the LUAL pilots 787 FO bids were looked at. Once it went unfilled by pre-merger CAL pilots, they just kept going down the list awarding it to post-merger hires.
I've already spoken with Manpower Planning. They admitted they made a mistake. It will be fixed on today's snapshot.
LUAL pilots on the 787. Its real.
