So this is apparently an internal decision at F9 based on language in the agreement and has nothing to do with ALPA. The flow was negotiated between both companies and ALPA was not involved.
Poking around a bit in the TSA subforum, it sounds like the restriction comes from TSH, which wanted to restrict the number of pilots going from TSA to F9.
Under the old F9 contract, this would have been a non-issue, as the number of CP people going to F9 back then was minuscule (<10 per year). But now with the new and improved F9 contract, I'm guessing TSH insisted on the same restriction with CP. So we probably just got the same agreement that TSA did, except it's 2-4/month instead of 2.
I would be surprised though if our union challenged this at all.
