I'm a complete contract neophyte, but what choice did the company have for DEN 76T crews when it decided to close the category? One thing I've noticed since landing here is how fast folks can churn back through training if they so desire. My April Indoc class had a couple of Bus guys who immediately bid to 756 in 15-08v.... meaning they will finish Bus IOE and be off to the 756 this fall. My partner in 737 training was a 737 CA upgrade who spent six months as a 777 FO before bidding up. A lot of $$$ is being wasted on disposable training (and buybacks), and not enough spent on fixing our broken operation. I'd be fine if the next contract reduced some of our flexibility for more $$$ in our pockets, as I'm not planning on visiting the TK very often during my remaining career if I can avoid it. But, perhaps I am missing something?
