Yes, the implication by many of you is (and has been in rebuttal to my comments) that the contractual provisions of the
Protected Pilot Agreement in your CBA are rock solid, i.e., have no reasonable method or possibility of being altered and thus every pilot included is essentially guaranteed to become an AA pilot under any and all considerations. If you DON'T think it is bulletproof, then please explain why. If you won't then that must mean you cannot come up with any reason it is not and thus my assertion is valid. Every example that I have discussed that might place that provision in jeopardy of alteration (or even elimination) has been met with vehement disagreement.
I don't think anything is bulletproof in this life and I don't think anybody on here has claimed that it is. It seems like you and your alter-ego's like to claim that people say it's bulletproof to give you ammunition to say it's not. Again, if you can point out where anybody has said that you're guaranteed to become an AA pilot under any and all circumstances, I'm all ears (or eyes, in this case.)
As someone who is a part of the Protected Pilot flow agreement, I think there is a very very good chance of the flow working as advertised. Bulletproof or guaranteed? Of course not. Like I said, NOTHING IN THIS LIFE IS. For that reason, I'm not willing to go to a LCC. American Airlines is the company I want to work for and I'd rather take the chance of the flow working, rather then selling myself short and going to an airline which I don't consider a final career move.
