AA guys please feel free to correct if I'm wrong
Well, from the company standpoint it certainly makes sense, and they would be paying for it. Most things re pilots are seniority based so, I can certainly see a kerfuffle if it’s BES. Just wondering if it would have to have ALPA concurrence or if the company can do an end run. Just laying some prep ground work for anybody that was not here in 96. As I remember that was seniority based to 600 pilots where-by they could add 5years to age and/or years of service to bring them up to a full DB. Got something tickling my noggin that it wasn’t an ALPA contract thing(could be wrong about that) but there is some there there.
