The HVA guys/gals aren't scabs...that's just ridiculous. The HVA's are going to end up getting screwed by being eternally forced on to reserve as the current pilots on property start hitting their hours. The biggest thing this pilot group can do right now is to steer people away from this HVA BS at all costs. Management has surplus of FO's on property. They are reducing hiring classes to ~30 with a focus on 1,000 hr 121 guys. They need to feel to hurt in the hiring numbers, and hopefully word is finally starting to get out about how the HVA's will end up being forced to LGA/ORD with low QOL. It does them no benefit to hire zero time 121 guys right now because their immediate need is finding qualified FOs for upgrade. Blame the union all you want, but at the end of the day management doesn't seem to give a ******* about the rest of the pilot group once they have them on property and it seems like our hands are tied until there is a drastic reduction in filling new hire classes with qualified CA candidates.
