There must be some kind of reasoning behind it. Just testing the water maybe?
I don't think anyone has a definite answer on this. I'll ask at recurrent this week and talk to the union hiring rep again. I talked to the union hiring rep last week. I think he is just as confused. The company usually keeps him in the dark.
If you're into conspiracy theories.... 135 Age 65 rumors are getting hot and fill a lot of the interview and hiring questions. The company endorsed the FAA privatization bill. Why would NJA do that? Who owes NJA a back scratch now? The Union sent out another age 65 related email last week. Everyone is closely watching the FAA authorization bill.
The IBI bargaining is probably also adding to some of the uncertainty for the company. IBI is suppose to wrap up next month. Sounds like some small pay increases through OT rules and increased COLA.
