The cba does allow for reducing the number of open vacancies after a bid is posted and I'm assuming this is their rational for choosing to just not award those 8 spots.
Like I said the union guys are already talking with the company so hopefully something can be hashed out. Because for those of us that gave up years at other carriers this definitely sucks.
Your correct.. the union is working very hard right now. I expect several resolutions to some issues soon. The company is going to have to make us happy soon to cover all this summer flying.. there is so much flying needed and only so so many pilots.. i heard fatigue calls are through the roof right now.
